SOURCE: 1994 nissan altima power steering pump leak

it has one bolt. and yes go to the autoparts store with the o rng and they can match it up, the o rings are known for rotting and make it leak....

and yes the hose could possibly be loose.

SOURCE: water leak inside the car

Whats causing this is that the drain hose for the evaporator is clogged and overflowing into the car. what has to be done is get under the car and find the drain hose, which is going to be on the passengers side of the car by the firewall, and get either compressed air and blow into the hose to try to free the blockage

SOURCE: How do I change the passenger side headlight bulb on 2001 Altima

Open up the hood, and go in behind the fixture where the light is located. Sometimes there is an access panel on top. Open it and reach down inside and grab the bulb’s socket. Twist the socket a quarter turn counter clockwise, and pull out the socket. Grab the bulb, and pull it straight out. To replace the new bulb, never touch it with your bare fingers, as this will greatly shorten the bulb's life, if it even work's at all. Use a tissue or something else in that order to handle the new bulb. Push the new bulb into the socket, put the socket back into the housing, and twist a quarter turn clockwise to secure the socket into the fix.Seems that you have to remove the coolant bottle(two screws), and also the unscrew the washer fluid bottle, after that you can reach the socket that holds the bulb. There is a wire that holds the bulb in. if you loosen the screw you can tip up the wire and be careful to leave it in place...also the long side of the wire seems to connect to ground wire for the light...

it doesn't matter i do not believe if just oil leak. gasket is probably bad and needs replaced or drain plug could be the problem. the oil filter should be looked at also

Where is oil cooler on 2008 altima and how to relace gasket it is leaking
Look for the oil filter. The cooler is right behind it. Remove the l filter. Use a large socket to remove the center stud that the filter screws onto. Pull the cooler back far enough to remove the old gasket (you do not need to pull off the coolant hoses to do this). Clean up the area, install new gasket, install center bolt, install filter, start the engine, and check for leaks.

Replace cabin filter
Then cabin air filter is located right behind the center stack where the radio and heater controls are. It is fairly easy to get to. I changed mine myself without even taking the glove box out like it says. It's a tight fit but doable. There is small door on the passenger side of the center stack. Open that up and the filter is right behind it. There are videos on YouTube if you are unsure of where exactly it is located. It is the same for years 2007-2012. I have a 2012.

I want replaced diesel filter from dyna lorry
there are 2 types, one is just a cartridge just like a small oil filter, this one just unscrews like an oil filter, when you replace it there is a round knob that unscrews and becomes a pump, just pump it until it becomes firm then try starting it with your foot on accelerator until engine starts. The other has a filter with a bowl under it, they have a small bolt in the center top of the housing, undo the bolt and the filter will drop free of the housing. these have O rings top and bottom and a bleed nipple off center, loosen the bleed screw pump the pump until air stops coming out the bleed, close bleed nipple then follow the same start procedure. any fuel leaks will stop your engine from starting but do not over tighten either filter because they can be damaged

Looks like the oil is leaking out right above the
oil filter screws onto an adapter housing which also has the pressure sending unit on it (above oil filter). This adapter housing bolts to the block with 3 bolts. if oil appears to be leaking from where the adapter housing meets the block (especially at the rear side of engine near bottom), then you need to replace the siamese o-rings between the adapter housing and the block ($12 part at dealer). remove lowest 12mm bolt and loosen top 2 12 mm bolts(top 2 bolts won't come out unless you drop the engine down, but loosening 1 inch is all you need), replace o-rings and retighten bolts. be careful not to get dirt/grit between block and adapter. just finished doing this to son's 95 2.7 v6 which was leaving an 8" puddle of oil after idling for only 1 minute-worked perfect
