need help w/PS pump leak
2009 RX350. Reservoir is empty and is leaking quite a bit at, what looks like, the pulley shaft. Serpentine belt gave out and may have whacked the shaft seal? I removed the hoses, wire harness, and 2 bolts through the pulley holes and the pump won't budge. Are there other bolts holding it on and where are they? Am I on the right track here? Is the seal replaceable if I pull the pulley or am I better off getting a new pump? I searched here and didn't find anything about ps pump leaks. Thanks all.

I have an excuse, I'm a senior.
Hopefully someone who actually owns a RX350 with a Repair Manual or has been through the experience can help out.
Disconnect soft hose, regular hose clamp. The hard line is secured with a 17mm banjo bolt and one piece that holds both crush washers.
Remove 10mm bolt from bracket securing pressure/hard line
Disconnect the pressure sensor wire harness
Remove (2) 14mm bolts that are accessed between the pulley spokes that secure the pump. Then pry it back/down and out.
There is a shaft seal that got destroyed by a mangled serpentine belt. Picking up a reman pump from the parts store tomorrow, hopefully no drama putting in. Thanks again.

Great that worked out for you thus far.....
I am sure your findings will be useful for other RX350 DIY.owners.
Hopefully my RX330 will be the last vehicle I own in this lifetime, at least I have the Repair Manual to refer to.
