Leak

[imthehink]

Cannot tell where it is exactly where it is coming from. It pretty much leaks in just that area. I've cleaned and wiped everything down to get a better idea but still can't tell. It looks and smells like power steering fluid. Ideas?

Check the compression nut ontop of the radiator on the driver side; it may be the compression nut to the transmission cooler. I have the same leak.

Ok, it is t fluid. But still can't tell. Here is another picture.

I had that same leak from the top compression nut as well. I got so tired of dealing with it that I purchased a trans cooler and bypassed that connection.

I know you said T Fluid, but looks like a PS fluid leak I had once. The plastic fitting that went into the PS Pump Reservoir had a hairline crack. (Which I caused while pounding a motor mount bolt into shape )

Ok, I just cleaned everything again and drove for about 10 minutes. I found it. The t fluid is leaking from this crimp on this hose: What's the part name and where can I get it? Thanks

Its called a transmission cooler line and I think that is the return line. It cycles trans fluid through the radiator to keep it cool. Anyway, I think that one is the return line and you can buy it at most auto part stores.

Is there enough ps fluid in the resevoir? Did you keep purging the air by going from lock to lock with the steering wheel?

 

[imthehink]

Yeah
