Was playing around with my clearance bulbs and noticed this by the power steering resovoir. I don't notice any loss of fluid, could this be a potentionally serious problem?

Warning, pics are huge...

Looks like leaking power steering fluid. You can see that the hose going to the reservior (left side hose) has oil all over it. It might be leaking at the lower connection to the hard metal line.

Another forum: You mean there are other places to talk about Maximas! ... you don't trust us

 

Its the other way around...

 

In your first pic, take that hose clamp on the left loose, move it a little up or down, then tighten. The hose takes a set and starts to leak after a while. All of the clamps like this on the P/S hoses can do this, causing leaks at the reservoir, P/S pump, and steering rack.

 

That looks exactly like my engine bay. I took a closer look at my lines going to the reservoir and there are some aging cracks. Whenever I get around to it I'm gonna call up coutresy and order some new lines. Do you happen to have any dripage on the ground? I'm pretty sure the line going towards my firewall is leaking some ps fluid too and I get about one drip per night on the garage floor
