The shop wanted to "try another vendor" for the rack but the factory Toyota is priced at $1300 and he's not willing to eat that cost yet.

That’s it, you need a good flushing. As someone said earlier, it uses ATF. Which is usually strawberry red. Now why it looks like a milkshake, I wander whoever did the work, if they used something else besides ATF. Normally when anyone describes a milkshake looking substance, it normal comes from two things that don’t belong together, such as blown head gaskets or oil coolers. But is sounds like you got something water based or different substance in your PS reservoir/ pump and rack.
The real question, is going to be do you raise hell for them to correct the problem or do you avoid them like the plague?
