I have had a funny smell coming into the cabin the last couple of days. It smells like turps. I pull up in the garage and the whole front of the car smells like someone has doused it in turps.
Over the past few days I have checked everything I could but couldn't find anything that would cause this type of smell. Today the smell was worse so again I check and I could see an oily patch on the cross member underneath the radiator right in the middle in line with the crankshaft pulley. It must be power steering fluid as the level in the reservoir is down and the aluminum part of the hose runs right where the leak is, through a retainer clip. It is hard to see as the bottom radiator hose runs over the top of it. Has anyone had a problem with the line leaking at that point? Do you have to replace the whole hose or can it be fixed with a joiner? |
