vr6 oil pipe leak?

Recommended Posts

Spotted a small patch of oil under the car, cleaned up the oil I could see and found it was coming from a metal oil? pipe located at the front of the car under the radiator area, seems to be leaking at the metal/rubber junction just before it dissappears towards the battery.

 

What is this pipe? where does it terminate?

 

Thanks

power steering pipe, is it a crimped junction or is there a jubliee clip???

 

If its the crimped pipe, new pipe will be needed and I would think a bitch to fit as I think it goes to the PS rack.

 

If jubliee clip, hopefully tighting it will stop the leak.

 

Check you PS fulid level.

It is a crimped connection, you can see it once you pull back the protective outer pipe. I'll check my fluid levels tonight. Do you have any illustrations of the power stearing system?

 

Thanks.
