Default Power steering hoses just wearing out.

Hey everyone had a small leak form my power steering so i put the car up on a buddys lift and see one of the hoses has a small leak in it, i called lexus and got there outrageous price3 quote and a pat number but cant seem to exactly pin point the part online since it is called both a "pressure hose and a tube assembly" if anyone knows on rockauto or any other site to find it and pinpoint it that would be awesome. here is the part number, i might just be dumb and cant find it. if so i will excerpt everyone calling me dumb on the thread 44411-24110

a buddy had it on his lift for me and told me. judging from the puddle...no its no right behind any lights looks more like the middle/back of motor. im looking up online to try and find a pic of it so i can just compare it to any other hose and do it that way

i attached a picture of the hose i found online when typing in the part number. it makes sense to me that u can just fix the part of the hose thats broke? unless im missing something i dont feel like the whole assembly is require

It's a pretty common problem as our cars grow up. But you can use either of these. I just did mine a few months ago, never had any issue with it, and looks pretty good.

Nope, no issues at all. Although you need to plug the 2 vacuum lines, one coming from the intake, the other from the manifold. It's gonna be pretty obvious once you work on it. And the plugs only cost like 75 cents at Autozone. Just in case this is your only car and you weren't able to identify what you need to plug, don't worry, you can still drive the SC even if the holes are not plugged, but your idle is gonna dip too low and car might stall at full stops so you're really gonna need to plug as soon as possible. Good luck!

PS; I'm a little bit **** on keeping my car stock looking like a lot of people in here, and I've had this talk with Luxor in the past as well. So yeah, right now I'm still using the one from driftmotion.com but MIGHT do what Luxor did. But right now I really like how it looks and how it performs so don't know yet...
