Yea....Ummmmm.....right.....

Check where the pulley attaches to the pump...The seal might be shot and as it builds up pressure, it could be coming from that. How...who knows unless you see it

Its got to be happening when the car is running/moving. When the system has pressure

Run it and have someone turn the wheel left and right (lock to lock) while looking around in there.

also keep in mind that powersteering fluid is flammable. Maybe it burned of and didnt leave fluid except where it is in that pic, and no sign of a fire.

Btw Brian, you change that sig of yours way too often.

Alright, I have it.

The PS fluid is entering the intake and running back through the throttle body into and onto the airbox and down the intake tube nearly to the MAF.

The air control valve appears to be allowing this to happen so after it goes up about ten degrees outside (BRRRR) I'll go back out there and figure it out.

Anyone with poor idle that has already been through every avenue might want to check the air control valve on the side of the PS pump. It has two vac lines and one of them goes directly to the intake. It's that small single hose going dead center in the front of the intake at the top of the engine under the lexus symbol.
