Help!!!!

Alrgiht. I was driving, went over a speed bump at a normal speed bump speed and motor just cuts out...... Wont start now, will try to trun over but wont, all light and suchs work. Once I got it home, checked the oil and oil was fine. crwall under the front end and see that there is power streeing fulid all over comeing from a connection bewteen the metal hose to rubber hoseing. looked as if it blew a seal and sprayed all around. Now i go back to the top look at the power streering and there is fulid on the top of the cap, enough to poor off. Now wil this cause the truck not to start or anyone have any ideas? Pic of the hose I am talking about.

no worries on the powersteering, anytime you turn the wheel with the motor off you will spray fluid out of the weep hole in the cap. i will bet when you checked the cap it was popped off the one seat too wasnt it? again, no worreis on the powersteering its not a problem, perfectly normal.

if fusee 22 is blown check your fuel heater i beleive....... if the fuse is good check for other blown ones and check for a rubbed wire at the main engine harness at the left valve cover.

I checked fuse 22 and it was fine and all the others inside and out were good. night time so not even going to try to look for a random wire. chances of engine just seizing up?

you have a blown fuse, or a bad cps or similar. these motors just dont turn themselves off. Wait till daylight, clear your mind and have another look.

Daddy was right to begin with, just my truning over and his truning over were two different things. But now they are the same.
