I have a leak and can't figure out where it's coming from. I think it's power steering fluid, but I'm not 100% sure. The power steering fluid level in the reservoir is barely dropping, if at all, and I haven't had to add any power steering fluid. I recently replaced the o rings on the high and low pressure lines of the power steering pump. In April 2020, I replaced the valve cover gasket and the cylinder head plug/cap and there is no oil leaking from those. In May 2020, I replaced the variable valve timing solenoid gasket (15826-RNA-A01). There appears to be liquid on the power steering pump, and moisture under the PCV valve.
I have included photos of the power steering pump from under the car and photos from under the hood near the PCV valve. If anyone has any ideas where the leak is coming from, and how to fix it, I'd appreciate it!
This is a pretty old thread but did you find the source of your leak? Mine looks exactly like yours, leaky below and above the power steering pump. I am losing fluid so I will replace the o-rings on the two power steering hoses. Hopefully that will do it. I've already replaced the PCV valve and VTech solenoid gasket. There's a small screw (looks like torx orange or red??) above the pump that on mine is 1st to look oily.
