Anyone have an idea what might be causing this? (1 Viewer)

I bet if you cleaned it up and kept an eye on it you could find the leak.

Yep, looks like a case of "it needs a generous spraying of degreaser until clean".

power steering fluid, cv axle grease or both

Looks old, like maybe a CV boot awhile ago. I'd clean it up and watch for new.

Looks more like grease / dirt than fluid. You can post more pictures of the area if you need help finding it. It could also be flinging up from your front driveshaft grease fitting.

Since it's on the outter frame rail I'm thinking grease and not oil from valve cover or power steering. Either way we are all just guessing until you clean it up and monitor it......but post more pics first....oh and check your fluids make sure they are all topped off.

Check those rubber boots on the axle down below, are they torn?

check the PS level the pump is above that area in the engine bay.

Pretty sure I found the culprit. Not saying the other stuff doesn’t need attention but this seems to be the source of that. Bracing for full report tomorrow.

Spray it all down with foaming degreaser and wash it off. Top off fluid and monitor the leak. That is a pretty common leak point.

Yep. I threw on a screw clamp and leak went away

I had the same problem. Bought a new reservoir and hose after trying additional clamps with a remaining slow leak. They were both surprisingly inexpensive.

You can easily replace those rubber low pressure lines (well, easy, but a 2 banana job) and not spent $1K at the dealer to get the entire hose assemblies replaced. There are several threads here on this. 1/2 transmission cooler line for one, and 3/8" for the other. $25 total, including lines, fluid, and clamps. Takes 1 hr. in your driveway.

PS … probably one of the pipes or clamps from the PS reservoir

Same. Although getting the old high pressure hose off was a huge PITA given the space constraints, but overall an easy job.
