Hi Gang,

I'm new to the forum - first post.

Have been on the road with my Dodge Ram 3500 5.9 and noticed a fluid drip - not a major leak - just a drip - fluid looks like power steering fluid but it is more clear than red. I'm attaching a picture of where it's leaking - standing in front of truck, it's a pump to the left of the engine pan and has a pulley and drive belt. Thought it might be the P/S pump but that's to the right side of the engine. Pic was taken laying on m back, looking up at the engine - you'll see a red drop of oil on that pump. Checked the P/S reservoir and it does say add but my understanding is pump is directly below reservoir - the right side of engine pan bolts do show moisture - maybe it's leaking on right side and working it's way over to the pump on left side in picture, which may be the A/C compressor? Mileage @ 106k

Any help appreciated!

 

Hello
Did you ever find out what the leak was from?...I have noticed I have the same leak in the exact same spot

Thanks

Don

 

Water Pump - cummins brand & new idler pulley assembly & new serpentine belt.

P.s. a lot more feedback received from cummins forum! Good Luck

 

Thanks Ken...I appreciate the quick response !!!

 

Thats the AC compressor and if you're seeing clear fluid it's probably just condensation dripping off
