Preventing PAS leaking fluid onto alternator - options?

[Mat Grant]

Hi all,

I’ve read in a few places about a problem with the 1UZ where the PAS pump leaks and stuffs up the alternator. My pump shows no sign of leaking but I was thinking – has anyone made a solution to this?

I was thinking of some sort of bracket to shield the alternator from hydraulic fluid from the PAS pump if it leaks - it wouldn't have to be strong, just enough to deflect the fluid away from going into the alternator, without restricting the airflow though the alternator....

Thanks, Mat.

I cut up a dish soap bottle and zip tied it in place. I think I was too late though, my voltages are starting to act up.
