Default 2014 3.7 Mustang leaking fluid

Need help with a diagnosis for a pretty large leak. I will post pictures below of where the leak is coming from.

It's coming from the front of the car, just on the corner of the silver box. The fluid is orange in color.



Thanks!!!

Picture is too small, I can't see anything orange on the corner of anything...

That your electric steering rack? IT may be leaking lubricant...

The water pump is the 'weakest' part on our 3.7's . Easy to replace yourself and on the front of the motor .

Ok so i have located the leak, it turns out it is not coming from the box i had originally thought but from a bolt from the bottom of the block just above the power steering rack. "silver box"

I tried to take some good pictures but i am not sure how helpful they will be

When you replace your water pump be sure to replace this $25 hose. It keeps air from entering the cooling system that can cause the water pump to fail. This is a link to a Thread I started on another Mustang Forum https://themustangsource.com/forums/...ads-up-537306/
