What is this it's leaking?

It's right behind the radiator fan, honestly I've noticed it leaking for a while.

You might consider doing a Power Steering line rebuild if it is real bad. This will eliminate the dripping mess you have now.

The reservoir is supposed to be replaced regularly as its also the filter for the power steering system. It uses ATF NOT Power steering fluid which makes the leaking worse.

The hoses also need replaced about every 75K as I hear it...

Good Luck
