while driving i accelerated and a pink liquid shot out from under the hood and out the grill onto the windshield. everything seemed to be fine except when u hit the gas really so i continued home. upon further examination i couldnt see where it was coming from and it doesnt seem to be a standing leak, only when pressured from the acceleration. do u know what this is and if it can be an easy fix?

Could be a trans cooling line or high side power steering hose. Open hood and look around

would it be the trans cooler or just the line? it looks to be leaking down the line and its even spilling out when the truck is idleing. the line doesnt look damaged from what i can see tho

Plastic tank probably cracked. Shut off clean connection good get a flash light start up see if you can spot. Unless lines have been off lately I am going for crack.
