Cool Divine Intervention In My Ls400?

my LS400 had p/s fluid leaking for quite a while. i changed my p/s pressure hose and it improved slightly by not whining when i turned but it still leaked. i topped it off a few days ago and dove it to several places. a few days later (today) i checked the level and to my amazement it was still full. wtf happened? is it a miracle or something else? maybe somethings blocking it from leaking. can someone explain this phenomenon?

Highly doubt God is spending his time stopping PS leaks,. -- But who knows. Only thing that could happen is the leak got plugged by some residue in the system, which is likely temporary and it will leak again today, tommorow, or two weeks from now.

Most leaks are from the Air control valve on the bottom of the PS pumps. Easiest way to check if its leaks, pull off the vacuum hoses and look in them for any fluid. If you see any, .. Replace it, or plug it.
