Thats a powersteering pipe so thats powersteering fluid. if it smlls horrible then it may be gear box oil but being redish and smells kinda sweet? then it's definetly powersteering fluid________________________________________ When I've got time I forget what I wanted to do, and when I remember what I wanted to do, I have no time! |

Me guess is that pipe has a small pin hole in it or slight crack. Mine went there.Not that hard to replace if you take your time. Its just a fairly long pipe and a bit fiddley. Getting the pipe cheap is another matter. Would look for someone breaking one. |
