Hi There!
Just purchased a 2003 Wrangler Sahara from a used car lot in Dallas. Looked good on the outside, had a Jeep dealer's service center look at it closer; mechanically and such. They told me that aside from needing the rear main seal fixed, a couple other things, it was good to go.
Today, two days later, I am sitting in traffic and a very loud noise comes from the engine. Sounded like a large truck purging its air brakes. After getting home, I opened the hood and found what I think it the problem.
On the passenger side of the engine compartment, very close to the backside wall of the compartment, there was a tube separated from another tube. Looked like bright yellow fluid had sprayed inside the engine compartment (from pressure). See the photos.
Looking for a little confirmation on what this is. I am sure someone can tell me that its not suppose to be serrated like that. And if anybody has any idea how much it will cost to fix, that'd be cool too. Also, advice on handling the Jeep dealer and the used car dealer? Literally bought this thing 2 days ago...
Thanks in advance!
