I can tell for sure now it is a fuel.My whole valley is soaked all the way to the front where injector pump is.Since temps are above freezing now it does not leak as much as it was during 20s and teens. I still do not know where it's leaking from but at least I know where to look for it. Thank...

Temps by me

Thank you everybody for replies. The area is clean becouse I wiped it lol. Whats leaking is brown but does not smell like a fuel so I assum it's an engine oil but even engine oil has a specific smell. Originally I thought that leak was from oil filter adapter .It seems like it leaks only when I...

I'm getting this truck up and running. I have no leaks on power steering I'm going to try to release air from the system and if that won't help my next step would be new fluid since this truck still has old fluid in the system.
