Does adding power steering fluid to a reservoir always mean there must be a leak somewhere?
The power steering reservoir has always been full on a 5th gen 4Runner. Recently noticed it was on the low(add) level. Topped it up with fluid back to the full line. First time this has happened. I can’t see any leaks coming from the 4Runner.
There are no sounds or issues with steering whatsoever.
Thanks.

If it's never been flushed then it could just be getting goopy and sticking to itself in places. If not then there is a leak but probably not major.
Thanks mountainmanjoe and bruceree for the reply. Didn’t know the ps fluid could get goopy and affect the level.
