Strange leakage and noise

nicoleima · 09-07-2009, 07:39 AM

Hi everyone!Can someone post or send me a picture of the front driver side back in the engine bay directly above the frame there is a hose coming out of the firewall. I've searched everywhere and can't find what it's supposed to connect to (which I have assumed that it connects as I've never noticed it leaking before.) It's leaking a cold, clear, non-odorous liquid. My girlfriend was driving the truck last night downhill on a newly paved road when a horrible clunking/banging sound came from that area, immediately pulled over and I tried to take a look at it but it was dark and I had a terrible migraine so was rather useless. Still can't figure out what the **** it is and I'd like to have some general idea before I take it to the dealer or a mechanic friend of mine.

leaking or weeping ? coming out of body low by frame sounds like a drain.
Has it been raining or was AC on high ? Slippery fluid or just wet ?

Sudden unexpected noise from just behind driver's tire
on a new paved road sounds like tire throwing debris
unless there is any evidence of something else.

I think we are forgetting the noise part of the leak.
