right there or behind? maybe valve cover gaskets? Oh and there is a gasket in the CPS IIRC but i dont know if it would leak form there.

there's an o-ring on the CPS shaft...ACE or home depot should have a replacement if you can get it off without cracking it in 50 spots, or you can go direct from toyota.

it's either that or the valve seals leaking, maybe even both.
