a picture would be nice but im guessing it cant be that bad if it was a radiator hose you would loose a lot more, perhaps its weeping from the hose clips??

man why is everything ur saying making sense...

okay well i dont have a pic because this is written on an inspection paper of the car.. ( inspected it before i bought it) now when i took the car to have power steering pump changed by another mechanic he said he noticed some clamps arent good down there...

so i think what he says plus what the inspection (from another mechanic) says.... indicated i need to change a clamp, which one?

with ur help im hoping i can find it?

it best to tighten them up and clean the area then see if its leaking chances are its just a loose fitting, garages always take the bigger step because its more cash for them I mean can you imagine getting billed to tighten up hose clamps
