Power Steering Leaking

[coleycoleman1906]

i need ed to drain the dirty fluid, on my 97 es300 so i removed a screw with a hose on it to fix it

, yes the fluid came running out of the pump and the resevoir, but now no matter how hard i tighnten this #4 screw, it leaks from that screw, ive tried 2 washers and everything. Thanks for any advice!

You need to clean the area where the the metal crush washer goes othewise it will keep cutting the alumiunum washer and keep leaking.

So buy a new oem toyota washer and clean all 4 surfaces.
