Oxidation/rust of engine parts in 2017 Yaris

[Hamster]

I listened to the audio. I heard sounds that my car definitely doesn't make.

Also, someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that the power steering is all electric, therefore there is no fluid. I've looked under the hood of my car who knows how many times, and I've never seen a power steering fluid reservoir.

As far as I know, that is correct. Everything I've searched says that there is no power steering fluid for the Toyota EPS system. Others I've spoken to claim that there is fluid even for EPS systems, but I'm not sure if maybe other systems have it?
