Greasy wet patch.....🤔
Hi all,
After returning from overseas, I thought I'd have a quick look round the truck to make sure all still ok after she hasn't being used for a while, and discovered this greasy wet patch on the NSF?
(I don't have any oil patches on the driveway though?)
Appreciate if someone can one point me in the direction of what it could be? I will have a closer look at the gator tomorrow once I remove the tyre to see if there are any rips?
I'm just concerned it's something more damaging as we are looking to go away next weekend to wales and I'd like to try and get it sorted before we travel.
Oh yeah checked all levels these would appear ok...?
(Ps, I've already tried Flack, but he's understandably unavailable.)
Thanks in advance.
Stephen.

Power steering pump and pipes are in the location above the area.
Keep an eye on power steering fluid.
The PAS fluid is green.

Clean it up with brake cleaner and get it super glued it will be good enough for your trip to wales, I glued mine and ran it for another 18 months and that included two mots before I could be bothered to put on new gaiters.
But just looking at the pic again and thats quite some spread and is more like an oil leak so the pas suggestion may be worth a look, the 22mm headed banjo bolt on top of the pas pump needed nipping up on mine, can be see from up top

Truck is on the drive at the moment, while I demo a possible new com car for a few days (Mitsubishi outlander PHEV 5hs?) I'll have a closer look at the leaks at the weekend.
