So I'm driving home from Beachwood and I smell that smell, we have all smelled it......some type of oil based product burning off the exhaust. NICE!
Quickly enough I find a parking lot. I look under the Hawk. OH BOY> A big puddle of something is forming rapidly. I hope it's red... I think. I would rather deal with power steering, and / or transmission then engine.
Sure enough a power steering hose is (hide the wife and kids) pissing fluid like a race horse. UT OH!
Shut it off, cut the power steering belt, curse, re-enter car.
So first thing this morning (On Vacation) I remove the hose and find a local shop that makes hoses and I replace it.
But I can't fiqure out why that hose after only 25-30 years next to the exhaust would have failed. I sure hope this new hose is made to last. So in closing when YOU experience a slight blip in the STUDE WORLD just know **it happens to us all.
