UPDATE: I decided not to take it i nto t!he dealer. Couldn't see paying them $270 to tell me what I told them.. found the plug/cap at Jack's Repair in NY. $30 shipped, Mobile mechanic came out and confirmed that's where the leak was and installed new one for $80. I'm happy! Waited to make sure the leak was gone

Have an appointment next week to get it fixed. Might as well let Cummings do it under the extended warranty.

Sorry, never heard of an engine-driven hydraulic pump that powered the slides. Power Steering-- yes. Side radiator fan-- yes. Brake boost on some hydraulic brake system coaches-- yes.

Found a cummings service & repair 20min from here and showed them the pic. Air compressor. Got get the engine serial# and call them, they said it was installed by coach manufacturer, but with that # they can give me the make and if can be serviced or not, (replaced).

It's hard to tell in the picture, but it looks like the air compressor pump that feeds your air bags and brakes. If so, it is lubricated with oil.

I'll get out there once it warms up. If you look at the left side of the pic there's the radiator and fan blade. This pic is from under the mh and this unit is on the passenger side.

Can you photograph a few things around it?
4 whopping cylinders on Toyota RV's. Talk about great getting good MPG. Also I have a very light foot on the pedal. I followed some MPG advice on Livingpress.com and I now get 22 MPG! Not bad for a home on wheels.

First off you need to resolve your inability to upload a pic. Then a pic would go a long way in attempting to determine origin of the leak.

Well Sir.
We'll need a bit more info for even a close answer. You need to tell us where the oil leak is in relation to the chassis. Is it close to the engine, possibly the air dryer is spitting some out but, they usually don't, maybe a slobber tube, (if yours has one that is non-capsuled), maybe near a wheel, indicating a wheel/axle seal, etc. See what I mean? If you don't get your pics working, we'll need a pretty good locale of where, on the chassis this might be coming from.
