I was doing some work to change the WP, Decoupler, Acc. tensioner/idler and belt, and noticed this large oily mess. Also, the top of the power steering pressure hose (where the crimp is) is wet. I attached a photo of the hose and the area from the leak.
What would be a possible cause of this? Has anyone seen a similar pattern leak? It's a family members car and they said a Volvo diagnosed it as needing to replace both timing chain cover gaskets. Could this all be from the bad hose crimp?
PS was 1/2 full upon inspection with no other leaks seen, and oil level was fine.
It's probably been leaking for at least 40k miles.
