I noticed this while crawling under the black car. :no:

Must be power steering line\fitting\sensor\something? Any thoughts / tips for fixing it up and else?
I already know that place is pretty much unreachable with the engine on car.. gotta hate that V6 MPFI intake...

Are you sure that it isn't that connection that you have circled? Could be a leaky power steering hose and just needs to be replaced. my $.02

Not sure, looks like the one i circled and the one that made the steering rack wet are 2 different issues.. possibly.

I power washed everything clean but did not get any leaking while turning the steering without car moving.
I guess i need to drive some and then check back to see what here is leaking, as you can see there are plenty of options.

Line 2 was actually bit yellow, like it would had been swimming in oil before...

Maybe put some dye in the PS and check it with a UV lights. I did have a leak on my rack and pinion but it was from the breather. Also there should be O rings in those connections.

Haven't had leaking after i washed it, but i'l keep checking down there every day to see when does it appear again and where... Dye is a good idea.
