oil leak
 
4 Attachment(s)
i had an oil leak for a while now and want to fix it up. it doesnt leak that much but it makes ma add some from time to time. i am not sure if its that hose leaking? it is covered with oil. or is it the gasket right under the hose? there is also oil on the gasket but it might be the oil dripping from the hose? like i said it doesnt leak that much you cant even see it dripping, i guess it just builds up over time.

Clean off all the excess oil that has leaked. Then, drive you car and check to see if you can see where the source is.

sound like a plan :) btw do you have any idea what is in that hose on the picture? does it actually run oil inside?

did some research and that hose is for power steering. i dont get it how it is covered with oil :( cuz that looks like engine oil. do you guys think that the bolt might be leaking and the hose is covered with oil cuz of splashing i guess?

get the UV solution and a dark light. when u put the UV solution in ur oil, the UV will glow where u are leaking oil from. it will probably show how oil got to that hose as well.
