Major Leakage...???

[Takecover]

That leak is the front differential vent line. My 04 had the EXACT residue there on the drivers side. If you pull that line off and replace it with the next larger size of tubing, and fill the diff back up, your problem will be solved. In 05 the line size was increased to eliminate that leak. If I am not mistaken, there is a TSB on the exact problem. The only other problem I have had with my 04 was water leaking in both front doors from the wiring "boots". Those are the only 2 problems in 50k miles. Enjoy your new purchase!!

I had the same happen to me. We were on the road and i noticed what i thought to be brake fluid all over the driver front wheel well. I kept check of the brake fluid level and brought it to the nearest dealer to find out it had to do with a vent hose. Mine rig is a 05.

Thanks for all the replies people...It was the differential line...they put a new filter on it and all...I ended up using degreaser when I got her back and it took the frame paint right the fu*k off...I am down to bare metal now...and rusting too...geesh...oh well...guess a touch up wouldnt hurt...lol...brakes are still squeaking but I may just man up and get some big boys...anyone have some decent ideas about brakes? nothing too expensive but decent...I think the previous owner had some back brakework done but not 100% sure...
