There was a pile of black stuff on my driveway when i got up this morning. At first i thought it was oil but my oil level is fine. I looked in the engine bay and saw a mess on the drivers side below and behind the oil filter on these metal lines. After checking my power steering reservoir i concluded that i have a power steering leak. However there is only one hose that comes out of the power steering pump that i can see and there is no leak there. Attached is a large image of what i found. What are these metal lines and do they tend to crack over time?

it just dawned on me that saturday a pothole snuck up on me and i hit it really hard. that may have cracked one of those metal lines.

I also did some more investigating and found that one of those metal lines do in fact come from my power steering pump. I'll find out tomorrow when i get some sun light

Also some times the o-ring between the resivior and the pump gets old and it leaks there.That just happened to me and i bought a rebuild kit for like $15.00 and put all new o-rings in.No more leaks.

I would clean it all off and run the car to see where it leaks. Turning the wheel should help speed it up.
