I've got a slow leak underneath my engine. This is on a 2015 Thor Majestic 28a with a Ford e450 Superduty v10.

Here is a picture of the part (circled in yellow) and where it appears to be leaking (circled in red). It is taken from underneath the vehicle.


Can you tell me what part this is? If I trace a hose going into it, it looks like the hose is coming from the brake fluid reserve tank.

After driving for a couple miles to warm it up, and then parking with the engine off, I see 1 drip about every 30 seconds or minute.

Figured some of you experts out there will be able to tell me what this is, and what the likely repair will need to be.

Thanks!

Can you get an upclose pix of the PN stamped on the side?

That PN should be searchable and give you exactly what it is..

I suspect that IS your power steering pump which would be located down low on the drives side of the engine.

Ford uses a remote reservoir tank for power steering pump, should be a dipstick you can remove from the reservoir which will tell you the fluid PNs recommended for use with that reservoir..

While I not familiar on the exact layout of E450 van based vehicles, the brake reservoir is typically mounted directly on top of the master cylinder and is not typically remote mounted.

This is a pix of the master cylinder that comes up when I search for your yr and model..





I suspect since it is most likely the power steering pump, you will be seeing a new one in your future.. Not sure if that item you circled in red would be available separate from the pump..
