New/Old V8 4runner

[I_Am_The_Walrus]

Hello! Just purchased a new to me 2006 4runner v8 with 80k miles on the clock. Lots of plans to build it out. Currently trying to track down a leak on the lower driver side engine compartment. Seems to be coming out of a hose attached to the frame next to the radiator.

That’s interesting.

That’s interesting.

Can’t tell if serious or just laughing at my attempt to get to 20 posts to post in the 4th gen section:smashputer:

Any ideas?

Any ideas?

Pretty sure that's power steering. I replaced mine with hydraulic hose, spliced in on top of frame and then back up next to the side of the radiator, been couple of years so far so good.

Did you get it figured out?

Did you get it figured out?

He got a couple of suggestions in his other thread but he hasn't updated yet if he found the source of the leak.

My power steering is leaking around that area so that could maybe be it.

Can you tell what color the fluid is?
