Power steering fluid leaking onto 1UZ alternator fix

Calling this a fix is a little misleading as it doesn't solve this problem, rather just avoids it because no one can fix this problem.

Joking of course, I am currently in the process of deciding whether to make my own cover, Fluid catch + drain, or overhaul the whole reservoir; until then this is a temporary solution to a seemingly permanent problem that has stricken so many 1UZ owners.

Introducing the JugUZ

Its a plastic jug. Thats it.

The cover shown here was made from a one gal plastic jug.

Remove existing alt. cover-use those 2 screws [w/ large washers] and drill and tap the alum. housing (near the alt mount) for another screw and large washer.

Doesn't show--but let the bottom of the jug lap over at the back of the alternator [about 2 "]

there is also this prebuilt option on eBay LINK

[THIS OPTION IS ONLY TEMPORARY UNTIL I DEVELOP SOMETHING NEW]
