I have a Hilux surf kzn185. My power steering rack has been refurbished and when topping up the fluid it has been draining away with no apparent leak. When driving the car power steering fluid would be forced out of the top of the reservoir.

you need to find the leak. it may be a hose, pump or the rack itself.
Refurbished??? rebuilt or used??

Not sure if you could see the whole question, the rack was rebuilt and pressure tested, there are no leaks but the car stalled after topping up the fluid and when I checked the oil level it was way over the limit. I'm assuming its the seals on the power steering pump but need to know what the part number is for the o ring between it and the crank case, thanks
