The brake fluid reservoir rests on top an aluminum body, which is then bolted to the cast iron body (closest to the firewall).
This cast iron body has 2 hoses coupled to it, 1 on each side. They are U-shaped and rigid at the point where they bolt on.
Can you tell me what these are supplying?
I am developing a hanging drip of what looks like motor oil on the bottom part of the cast iron section, and the hose on the outside seems to have a bit of play at the connection point (the 18mm nut is tight)
The cast iron piece is part of the hydro-boost unit and it uses the power steering system for its boost. That is most likely power steering fluid, Mercon V, that is leaking.
Okay. Thank you.
I thought that I was seeing a slight reddish hue to the drip, but it had no smell at all so I wasn't completely sure.
I will address this.
