Default power steering fluid leak

Hello,

I have a 2005 Camry that is leaking power steering fluid. A mechanic recently took a look at it and said the power steering hose needs to be replaced. Does anyone know where I can find detailed instructions on how to perform the repair (I saw a youtube video of the operation being performed on a different vehicle, but wanted a Camry specific instruction)? Also, what is a common approach to locate the leak? I want to make sure there isn't a simple solution to the problem.

Thanks in advance for any help!

-Johnny

No help on the video. Might ask at the Toyotanation website.

Access to the pump is via the wheel well or under the car. If a PS hose, should be straight forward.

you can try the vid and see if you can do some necessary changes to the procedure that might help and share it here.

Hi Johnny. I have a 2005 Camry and recently replaced a power steering hose and the resevoir. I watched several videos on the power steering leak issues, how to find and fix. I entered 2005 camry power steering leak in the youtube search bar. What line are you referring to? The high pressure, low pressure, mixed metal and hose, or just hose.
