got a leak. HALP!

The leak is coming from near where a rubber hose connects to a relatively big metal line. The connection is made in the area of behind the front drivers side wheel. The hard line runs along the same lines as the fuel lines, but it is quite a bit bigger. If I follow the hard line up into the engine bay, it appears to connect to an item that is tube shaped, and sits next to the stock air filter loacation - immediately to the right of it.

Forgive my Ford stupidity, but I do not know the terms of these components. I'm trying to find a picture online where I can point to the component in hopes that you fine fellas can tell me what it is.


edit: item in question is immediately between the air filter housing and the power steering fluid reservoir.

In that picture it is the very bottom right hand corner item. It has a connector that plugs into it.

What is it?

That big cylinder is your charcoal cannister...part of your EVAP system. Looks like a long can.

So the greatest question of all -

Why would I be leaking oil from this line?

Or... maybe I am looking at the wrong line. Heading back out to look again now.

Cancel that. Looks like the fluid was leaking from a vent line of some sort that comes out of the top of the front diff?

WTF?

Some oil can come out of there sometimes with no problem. I would check the diff oil level.
