Leak from pipe near the top of Pulley
I have a 2001 Acura TL that has a leak from a pipe near the top-most pulley. I have attached a picture with the area of the leak circled in yellow. Can anyone shed some light on what this hose carries? It is power steering fluid?
Thank You,
Deepak

High pressure power steering line. If you are sure it's leaking from the crimped area where metal tubing transitions to rubber then the entire line needs to be replaced.
Check to be sure fluid isn't leaking at the pump connection(where the two bolts are), and dripping towards the yellow circled area. There is an O ring at the pump connection that is known to go bad but an easy fix.

What Iggy said. Check the O-ring, and if it still leaks you need to replace that line. It's not too awful of a job if you've got some mechanical aptitude - the hardest part of it is figuring out how to twist the new line in.
Be glad it's not an Accord! Iggy was having a real fun time replacing the PS pressure line on one of those recently :P

Oh my bad man, it's been a bit since I looked at that thread.
