Power Steering Leak

I own a 1997 4Runner SR5 2WD. For the past few months, my power steering has been leaking. Only recently it got to the point that I have to put power steering in it before I drive it every time. I just got under my car to see where the leak was coming from. I don’t know very much about cars at all but I’m trying to learn and fix mine.

When I got under it, I noticed that it only leaks badly whenever I turn left. It drips constantly even when it’s off- but when i turn it on and turn left, it really just dumps fluid out. when i turn right barely anything comes out. now, i don’t know what it’s called but there is a type of hose that runs to the front left wheel underneath and there’s a hole in it. i’ve attached a picture of the hose i’m talking about. Is this where my leak is coming from? and if so what would i need to replace to stop the entire leak?

like i said i’m only just now starting to learn more about this car so any helpful comments would be greatly appreciated.

 

Looks like simple hose replacement. I would get a Haynes repair manual though....

 

Or is that the boot covering you steering arms?

 

Your power steering rack is leaking. Needs seal. Or replace with new or rebuilt unit. They are very accessible on the 4runner
