If there are no bubbles, I would probably go with your mechanics recomendation to replace the pump. When you had the leak, did the pump ever run dry?

Not that I know of. I always refilled it when it would start making the noise and then the noise used to go away. I was planing on buying it from rockauto.com. The prices range from $114-200, any recommendations as to which one to get or it doesnt matter? Also it says without reservoir, do I need another part or is that just talking about where the steering fluid is now because that seems to be fine now?

i just replaced that hose with one from a camry from pull-a-part for $12 after several failed attempts at ordering it from auto part stores. my car is a 93 and the camry was a 94-96, the camry hose has a 22.5 degree bend at the pump end where my lexus hose did not. i had to put it in a vise and carefully take some of the bend out to get it to line up with the pump but it worked and saved me big bank!

without reservoir means you(or your mechanic) have to remove the pulley and reservoir from your old pump and install it on your new pump.

Also check AMAZON and parts geek and then there is O'Reilly's and Autozone and
Napa. There is a video on you tube for the ES 300 high presure line/hose replacement. You go to Lexus bring lots of money. After market is the way to go. Gates makes this set up for the LS400 mine is a MasterPro brand
I hope this saves some headaches
