Leaking tube causing smoke

Right before the new year, i ran into a problem last night! Fortunately it wasnt until after i got to the NY event. Anyways when i pulled up to the driveway i noticed some white smoke coming from my hood. I popped the hood and noticed this tube seemed to be leaking a little and what ever liquid dripping out was hitting the hot engine and smoking up. Anyone know what this tube is and what liquid it is transporting?




HAPPY NEW YEARS!

Go to the dealer and get the P/S Hose Recall done. It can cause a fire when it leaks on the exhaust.

Yeah, get that fixed immediately and I wouldn't even run the engine at all. Several TLs have caught on fire because of that. If it's already dripping, I probably would get it towed rather than risk a fire. Contact your dealer and see if they will come pick it up and tow it back on their dime.

What year/model?
