I’ve seen to got a leak originating around this hose in my old pickup, it’s got over 230k miles on it but I recently had the transmission rebuilt and swapped the motor out for a newer crate engine. Love this truck and am trying to get this old baby back into the best condition I can, any help is greatly appreciated
Hard to be sure, but that looks like the power steering pressure hose.
that seems to be the power steering pressure hose…
Huge HINT… when turning the steering wheel to the the end or rotation… release slightly… bringing the RPMs up with the wheel turned to the end causes a surge in power steering fluid pressure above the working pressure of the hose faster than the pressure control valve can move to moderate the pressure…
this causes repeated failures of the hose…
