The mrs has been out in the van today and complained about a noise coming from the engine bay (passenger side) had a quick look under but couldn’t see anything. But something is dripping under the van.
Took the van out for a bit. Makes a grinding noise when turning left but only at slow speeds.
Got it back home and had another look under, still a drip coming from under but don’t have a clue where it’s coming from.
Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Don’t know wether I’m being stupid here but where is the power steering fluid tank located so I can trace it back ?

Re: I’ve sprung a leak
It’s usually around engine bay location so if drip somewhere else could just be air con if she’s turned it on maybe

Re: I’ve sprung a leak
That drip is typically location for air conditioning condensation drain. It's piped from the climate control until into the tunnel just a little bit higher up that where you see the drip form on the heat shield.

Re: I’ve sprung a leak
CV joints get noisy when they’re on the way out. I’d imagine this would bet louder as speed increases though.
Also the bottom pulley if it’s worn can make a noise on full lock.

Re: I’ve sprung a leak
Thanks lads. Should the air con drain there? I’ve never noticed the drip before so hopefully that’s just the air con drain.
The only way I can describe the noise is a grinding or rubbing, only when turning left.
