I have pics that I want to post, but how?The leak comes from a yellow pipe that is aligned with the axle in the middle between the 2 front tires.Its a pipe that is probably changed from time to time.This is a ford chassis.

It's just a steering stabilizer. Think of it as a shock absorber for the steering gear.

This could be the correct part number, check it with the one on your MH.
