Thats a powersteering pipe so thats powersteering fluid. if it smlls horrible then it may be gear box oil but being redish and smells kinda sweet? then it's definetly powersteering fluid

Cheers fella, did think it was power steering fluid from the colour but weren't too sure.
Any idea what needs replacing? I'm rubbish at this game Sad

Me guess is that pipe has a small pin hole in it or slight crack. Mine went there.

Not that hard to replace if you take your time. Its just a fairly long pipe and a bit fiddley.

Getting the pipe cheap is another matter.

Would look for someone breaking one.
