Power steering fluid reservoir hose clamps rusted
Most of the clamps rusted away so it's just the hose itself holding on, no leak yet though. I pulled on the hoses and they seem pretty tight. So can I just ignore it?

If both hoses are low pressure ones then it's probably ok to leave them alone?My guess is that both hoses connected to the reservior are low pressure, only the hose connecting the pump and the power steering parts is high pressure. Can anyone confirm?

If I do have to change the clamps, do I have to use the toyota clip type? Or just any other quality clamp?

Thanks!

Just buy new hose clamps from the parts store. If you can find the same type, great. If not, you can use the worm gear type as well.

Just replace them, you don't want it to start leaking when you are least expecting it.

Anyone know the size of those hoses? I googled a little and it seems better to use the OEM kinda of "constant tension clamp" so the temperature fluctuation won't affect it. But I can't find the size info anywhere.

Thanks!

You're over thinking this. Stick some hose clamps on it and call it a day. Personally, I wouldn't even bother replacing them until they broke.

You should take a look at the clamps in your automatic transmission hard lines. They feed in to the bottom of your radiator.
