Hi All,


Was crawling around under the truck this evening and came across something odd. Wish I could get a pic up here. Anyway, just inside the driver's side front wheel I noticed a couple things. First, there is a fitting right above the brake line fitting with some sort of rubber hose cap on it. What is this? The reason I am asking is that I do not have the cap on the drivers side. The passenger side does have the cap. Second, there is something all over the inside of that wheel, feels oily. I check the brake fluid, it is within the proper range. I made a mark to try and see if goes down at all. I am planning on runnig by the dealer tomorrow to get it checked out. Any thoughts are appreciated. Thanks.

Sounds like the bleeder cover cap .... Oily substance ,dunno but I doubt it's brake fluid ....


4X4 Check front differential fluid .... You may have to remove skid plate if so equipped to access ...
