I'm not a 3rd gen/CR guy, so what pump are you talking about?

if your talking about the power steering you can either get a leak from the front gasket on the pump. Is it oil? or power steering fluid. I also know that the high pressure fuel pump is right up along there too. If its that is it diesel? But they can leak from the front cover housing side.

Need to identify the fluid: oil, steering fluid, fuel, coolant - "what" is leaking?

By the way he stated "three lines", it sounds like he's experiencing a leaking CP3, common in cold weather...there is a TSB for replacing the CP3 if you're under warranty (its a STAR authorized part). It will often show up as a drip off the wires to the pump.

It will likely stop once the temperatures get back to normal...mine leaked every time it got cold, and stopped every spring; and that was a STAR replacement pump to fix the exact problem!
