Default Leaking from pipe above engine

Hello All,

Had a quick question about a leak that I have noticed in my engine bay.

I noticed that some crud was gathering around the area circled in yellow in the picture below (by the dipstick), and there is now fluid collecting below the pipe on the engine. (The picture is not my car).

Does anyone have any idea what that part is and what I should do about it?

Thanks!!!


Leak is coming from Yellow Circled area.

That's the high pressure power steering line/hose. It would be a fair amount of work and expense to change it, so you might prefer to live with the small leak unless it gets worse. Keep an eye on the power steering fluid level though.
