pipe burst I would imagine. I assume by right hand side you mean the passenger side on a UK car. |

where abouts?
Theres a pipe that runs under the radiator alogn the subframe up to the steering rack. Its foam covered.
if its close to the firewall (passenger compartment) then the pipe where it goes fromt he rubber to the metal pipe may have corroded and thus loose, jubilee clip may sort it. Or a new pipe etc etc |

well that means the rack then.
Squeeze the gaitors, if they squealch and fluid comes out then the racks buggered.
I had to swap the rack the other day cos of this. |
