So I ended up having a fairly significant leak on one of my low pressure side hoses and it turned out they were both hard and brittle and starting to crack. Fluid was even leaking out one of the hose ends because the spring clamp couldn't compress the brittle hose any longer. I went to my local Toyota dealer who wanted $559 for the entire (44420) assembly as they don't sell just the two flex hoses even though they're low pressure and held on by spring clamps. That makes no sense to me so I ended up replacing them with 'low pressure side PS hose' from O'reilly for $15 ($10 for 3' of hose and $5 for 4 hose clamps). It pains me to not use Toyota OEM components but it seems absurd you have to buy the entire assy. I power washed the undercarriage and everything looks great. Its been several days now and all seems good. I haven't replaced the other low pressure hose from the reservoir to the pump (44348A) ($59 OEM vs $7 O'Reilly) because that one still looks good and is flexible although I do have that OEM part on order and will do it eventually.
My question is what are the chances the High Pressure side will go soon? They too seem flexible and are not leaking but...
