I got this leak above my front passenger side tire and I’m pretty sure it’s a power steering line but I just need some clarification on it, as you can see it’s leaking pretty good, my transmission in my work car went out so now I gotta drive my truck about 100 miles a day.

Power steering is on the other side, is that trans fluid? Likely leaking from the rubber hose with the clamp on the hardline. That should just be a solid line.

Work your way up from where the leak is landing on the frame and you'll see where it's coming from.
Use a flashlight and a mirror and inspect everything above the frame where it drips down.

Not your power steering like WT mentioned. Looks like someone did some "mods" to the truck and jerry rigged those trans lines..

Yeah, that solid to rubber connection is likely the culprit, factory that's a hard line. Probably got damaged at some point and someone did a "quick fix" that turned into a long term deal

Assuming he has the 68, it pumps in park (not sure about the aisin). I’d bump up the idle and visually inspect. Make sure it’s up to temp and the thermal valve is open. It looks like the leak should be pretty obvious.

Thanks for getting back with me and I can see where it’s leaking from when I crank the truck up, it’s that first line right above the tire where that little metal piece is holding onto the truck, is it ok to drive it like this until I get a chance to get it fixed?

I thought so to but it’s the 1st line right above the tire, when I crank it up I can see it slowly coming out just don’t know what line that was to, I thought it was power steering because it smelled like it an was the same color.

I’m new to this forum page an really just learning how to use it so bare with me lol but I know where the leak is I believe I was just curious on what that line is that’s leaking I work all the dang time an ain’t got time to take it to the shop this week to get it looked at, will it still be ok to drive it with that leak for a little while? I put a box around where it’s leaking from in this picture, again thank y’all for the help!

It smells like power steering fluid because mopar uses atf as power steering fluid. I would keep an eye on fluid level if you continue to drive it

As a temporary “get you by” you might try throwing a second hose clamp on spaced right next to the one that’s on there. I wouldn’t drive far from home, if that lets go you’ll be on a tow truck. Just watch the fluid level in the trans, that would be a pretty silly way to smoke a trans.
