I was replacing steering rack boots on my '95 SC400 and in the process found that I have a PS leak. Does this look like the pump leaking, or just the pressure hose fitting? The pressure hose is damp all the way down to the point where it was dripping on the splash guard.

Alternator looks clean from this end. It appears it's just the hose. I have the same issue, but my banjo bolt is seized in there.

That's my guess as well. Hope my banjo bolt isn't completely frozen. If/when you get it out, let me know if you have any tips.

I will.. Someone else used an impact not too long ago. Managed o get it out

Finally got the PS pressure hose replaced. Had to move (or remove) some things to get at the banjo bolt, but it wouldn't budge. What did budge was the pressure port union. When I would turn the banjo bolt, the pressure port union would turn also, so I was able to get the hose off by completely unscrewing the union via the banjo bolt. Once on the bench, I was able to man-handle the banjo bolt loose from the union. I deleted the pressure tube and vacuum hoses and put in a M14-1.5 drain plug. Everything is back together and I haven't noticed any leaks. Hopefully this is all it needed, and the PS pump is ok. Time will tell...
