Look above for pooling. I JUST replaced a leaky 15 year old hose the other day. Maybe all ya' gotta do is tighten a fitting.

It does not seem to be anywhere but there at the center of the nut.

It does not look like a drip its on top side of bolt or is the picture turned?
Is it a steady drip or just sitting there?
What's behind the plate and near that bolt not a hose that can be shaft through with the red fluid in it?

It could be just left over trans fluid from the installation under the reservoir tank if you do not see a leak from solenoids or hoses.

I have not seen any fluid leaks however; on a few occasions we have heard and felt thw front jack(s) actually drop a little bit. The shop found No problems. This has not happened this year at all.

Our pump unit for the jacks started leaking about 10 months after we took delivery of our Canyon Star. The dealer repaired it under warranty. They said that the fluid reservoir was leaking where it connected with the pump and they had to use a rebuild kit if I understood them correctly. Actually, one of the service techs told me they were going to replace the whole assembly but I think the rebuild kit was their final solution. All I know is that it isn't leaking any more. Good luck with yours.
