Default Help ID leak...

Hi all,

Found a leak I'm not sure of what it is. Doesn't smell like oil or coolant. It's the right hose that is leaking.

Seems like the connection there is leaking. Where the "hard" line meets the rubber line. Might be due to the real cold weather we've gotten recently. Also noticed the hydraulic fluid reservoir (marked pentosin) is low.

How should I go about fixing?

Thanks!

Well...Looks like the leak is the high pressure side of the steering hydraulic line.. To to repair the line, you have to replace the line from the transmission tunnel to the back of the car

So the motor has to come out to replace the line...

Got suggestions for while your engine is out upgrades/maintenance?

List so far:
-Oil separator
-coolant tank
-old hoses
-???

where is it leaking? theres a fitting about 3 inchs from where you circled and then the line goes to the ps pump right behind the air box, no need to pull the motor for that

Its located at the very top of the line right where the rubber holder is below the rear deck. Apparently there is a permanent connector (in this case not so permanent) there that is leaking.

I believe the brass color coupling on the right is leaking. It's leaking approx where the shadow begins. Can that be tightened or easily replaced?
