I washed it with brake cleaner, don't see leak yet. I'll drive and check again.

Funny, mine looks wet like that too, but not from the banjo bolt. At least not that I can see. I replaced my hose about two years ago. I wonder if it is going out again?

Yes most likely, the way the engine rocks with bad mounts it's inevitable
Luckily the previous owner of mine bought it at AutoZone with warranty i found the recipt in the glove box.
I think I'll clean the pump super good then see if it's not the pump itself before replacing the hose just in case.
