look here to see what part is what

You just posted a ton of pictures and said, "hey internet, figure it out". How about help us help you by asking better question like, "what is this *points directly to a part of one picture*"

 

lmao well I’m just putting the pictures out there Incase anyone can just look at em and if they know off the top of their head an issue they see they can just lmk but yeah I’ll take better pics lol

 

mannn idk I’ve got some work ahead of me

 

that's not how the forum works! It's not a substitute for a visual inspection of a mechanic. And if you just went to a mechanic liek this and said, "what's wrong with this?" you know what'd you get? an Ass raping of a bill... Start being more specific with what you want to tackle first, symptoms you're experiencing, etc.

 

I see lots of pictures of an undercarriage that is covered in oil. Lots of that oil is probably from the power steering system since it is clear one of the boots has self-destructed.
