Landcruiser specialist?
not for your 80.

it'll be bank to get an OEM replacement. $500 or more if it's toast.
they'll find you a cheap plastic one to replace it with....no bueno.

do you visibly see a leak? or is it just consuming more fluid lately? check your hose connections. a clamp and new hose might be a more affordable solution. dry it off, and check for leaks after you drive it the next time.
and you could always wash off the bugs, but then maybe another leak will show up huh?
