Please Help: Unknown Broken Hose

[jacobs.m.aaron]

Hey All,

I am new to the forum, and this is my first post, so any help will be good.

During the drive home, I made a low speed 90 degree turn and halfway in the power steering made it extremely hard to turn the wheel. When I got home I popped the hood and realized the engine bay was soaked in a fluid, causing the belt to slip, in turn messing with the power steering. Once I was able to get under the vehicle I noticed a loose hose, which ended up being cracked and disconnected from one end, and very easily broke off the other end. The hose is coming from a box near the oil filter and power steering pump. (Im not great with the terminology, but maybe the front gear box) I hope the pictures are helpful, sorry for the angles, but it was the only way to adequately view the broken hose. I need to know what hose it is, and where it connects to, since it was already disconnected on the other end. Any help is great, and pictures would be amazing.

Thanks in advanced for any help!

Does it have the metal sleeves on the ends? Those are usually PS lines I think.

That is the front diff breather hose.

x2. Less than an arms length of 5/16" fuel hose and a hose clamp will fix that right up, but that is definitely not your problem. How are coolant levels?
