I'm getting smoke with burning oily smell from the right lower part of motor
compartment, I've been told by mechanic that he has to replace banjo bolt on
steering rack for the high pressure hose coming from pump because there is a
leak of hydraulic oil, he located leak while I was turning back and forth
from extreme right and then 40 degrees left. I wonder if there is a
connection between smoke with burning oily smell on ride side and leak. I
think it is a 19mm banjo bolt fro high pressure hose.
