Hello I just bought a 2004 accord coupe and there is a leak that is right under where the steering colum comes through the firewall. It is at a junction were there is a box with metal lines going in it and out. What could this be? Steering related? Or possible brake related? Any help is appreciated.

 

Is this an automatic transmission or manual? Can you see/feel the hydraulic cylinder that is leaking fluid?

 

It is an automatic. Yes i can see it and feel it.

 

Is there a metal rod sticking out where you have the fluid leak that connects to the brake pedal?

 

That rod PA is talking about is inside the car. Is the leak inside the car or is it outside of the firewall?

 

It is on the outside of the car.

 

The brake proportioning valve is down there somewhere. It's #7 in this picture.

 

Okay. Thanks for the help guys I will try to climb under there and take a picture to see I can show the exact location of the leak.

 

Here are some pictures I took. It looks to me to be steering related but maybe not.

 

What fluid is being held in the reservoir in the upper right of the third picture?

Its hard to tell where you are at in the engine bay. Can you take a picture from further back so we can see the engine?
