I discovered a massive leak, which I believe can be either diesel fuel or power steering fluid. Recently my truck has been making some weird whining noises once in a while when I steer hard to the right, and can get louder as the engine revs up. This what makes me believe it's power steering fluid. I don't know where the heck you check or even fill the power steering fluid because the truck has been retrofitted for snow plowing, and I see no reservoir where the power steering fluid usually goes (bellow the a/c compressor). I drive a 96 k3500 6.5 diesel. I assume it could also be fuel that's leaking because on the top the engine head near cylinder 8 (Pic 2 is an illustration) is soaked with fluid from a nut on one of the fuel lines. What could this be? Any suggestions? Will probably have to take this in for a repair anyways, but recently, I’ve been very busy.
This is what I believe is a reservoir for hydraulic fluid for the plow, but could it also be for the power steering too?
(Pic 2) There is a fuel line that goes into the engine around the location of the red circle (or a little below it), and there a nut on a fuel line that I believe connects to the injector around the location of the red circle. I believe this is the source of the massive leak. The red circle indicates where the engine is soaked with fluid as well.
I will post more pics soon,
