Hi all

Discovered a small leak this weekend and have traced it to what I believe are the power steering return pipes (happy to be corrected on that!). Anyway, there's definitely traces of red power steering fluid all over the pipes and it's collecting on the plastic under-tray. As you can see from the photo, there is severe corrosion on both the pipes, which I think is the cause of the problem. However, I'm having trouble tracing a part number for these, so could anyone help? It's a 2004 RX300.

Thanks in anticipation!

best bet would be to swing by a dealer, there exploded view for parts are great.

other option might be to eliminate them altogether, just run high pressure hose the whole way.

 

Looking at the attached photo, it looks like the part in TSIB TC002-04, Tube Sub Assembly, Oil Cooler, part number 32907-48031. I bought and replaced one from Sewell online for $44.

 

The right parts. Same set that needed replacement for the "thump."

 

Welcome to Club Lexus.

Would try the blow apart diagrams on the Sewell web site to see what you can match it up against.

Thanks for that - found it out very late last night! Cheers anyway for confirming.

 

And thanks for that too! An invaluable bit of info for the future!
