Oil and Power steering Pump O-rings/Leaks.

[Astralcat]

Hi Guys,

97' LX-450 125K. Small leaks from power steering pump and Oil leak under Engine. Very minor fluid loss. Shop, That is familiar with FJ80 says is O-Rings. Main on PS Pump, not Pump failure and Oil pump in engine leaks after time and pulley comes off, Repair is $450.00 or so. Should I bother? or wait till it get's worse?

Rebuilding the PS pump is not too difficult, but be sure to get all the Orings in place. One of them (the inner front plate Oring) is easy to overlook.

Bringing this thread back to life to post a pic. Can't attach a pic in a PM for some reason...for another forum member.
