I was driving home from work today, and I saw very thin smoke coming from my engine bay. I was like...oh fu(k - I pulled over into a performance shop, popped the hood and saw all this reddish brownish liquid at the very back left part of my bay.

Is that a Power Steering line pop? Is it power steering fluid or coolant?

What should I do/not do?

 

is the fluid collecting in the strut tower?? sounds like PS fluid, you need a new line probably. theres most like a hole in the line.

 

don't drive it right?

 

I drove mine a little while longer(~4-5 days)....not long distances of course. since I could see the actual fluid spraying out hole in mine I wrapped the hose with some duct tape and zip ties and got a new hose a few days later.

 

lol, how much was the hose? I think it's the "pressure" hose....(if you remember)

 

yeah - it's the Power Steering Pressure hose. $40 @ AutoZone

 

yup thats where I got mine at
