Got under the truck today to do a little past due oil change since the weather has been warming up and noticed what I first thought was an oil leak. Upon further inspection it looks like one of the hoses that connects to the power steering reservoir wasn't tightened enough and leaking. It was so loose I could rotate the clamp around the hose. I tightened it and went out with my oil change while wondering if this is whats causing my left turn only sound in the mornings on the way to work. There also was alot of gunk build up on the passenger side right below the power steering reservoir; from which I assume was leaking down the hose for quite a while? And its not oil, it has a different smell.
The reservoir was at its min on the cold point after it had been parked for atleast an hour, which I assume is normal?
I plan to get some brake parts cleaner and shoot the house to clean it off, as well as the already gunked areas to see if tightening the clamp helped any.
Any input? The truck only has 74,000 miles not driven hard or anything.
