I think in MJs case, it was the union in the V6 hose which was a particular problem.

You need to remove the belly pan/undertray and you find the PS pump with all the hoses in the front wheel well area which is where the corriosion etc happens apparently.
It’s the caption where 2 part numbers are called item 8. Does the wheel arch liner need to come off too?
