Hey guys,

I am not good with mechanics but its been a bad day with my Safari so far. I have oil leaking out of a hose that is connected to a black container next to the battery on the right hand side. It seems to come out where the O-ring/ sealing ring sits.(is that oil for the steering) So my guess is that obviously needs to be replaced.
Apart from that it all started with an empty battery, when I jump started the car something started to smell like burned plastic and the air con + radio wont turn on anymore. I ve checked all the fuses under the steering wheel and under the bonnet but they were all fine.
As it is a 24V I thought maybe its down to the 12V jumper battery I used but I read this cant be the reason as it is 2x 12V batteries in line.
As well I rang the RACQ and the guy said the 2nd battery on the left hand side is flat and needs replacement but after driving around for a while the truck just starts fine.
Can you guys think of anything that will get my air con and radio working again. And do I have to be worried about the leak at the steering oil hose thing? Sorry I dont even know if the Nissan has got power steering?

Thanks up front for any help!!
