Help with hose type/part# please!

what fluid is in the Freightliner power steering sector - Search

I don't know for sure. Reading the link above and the color you say the fluid is. I think the braided line is a power steering line. With the amount of fluid soaking thru the hose. Replace with same type. Make sure you bleed the lines after replacing.
Freightliner should be able to tell you part#, good chance they have it in stock.

Take the old hose off and have a new one made to fit. Parker Hose is a good place to have hoses custom and pre-sized hoses of all types.
Good luck

 

Where does the hose go into? If its p/s in a pinch you can replace with same size silicon or rubber hose and clamp. Looks more like a fuel line or oil line with that type of connector tho

 

Does it go to a steel line that runs in front of the radiator?
If so it’s the compressor discharge line.

 

Most likely the compressor is passing a little oil.
That’s not the source of the leak showing up on the splash guard.

 

No,nothing but air in that line.
Coolant line for the compressor is above it and runs down the side of the block.

 

Let’s see if this works. Yours is a bit different, but basically the same location.
