Just renewing the pipe from reservoir to pump as a precaution because it looks like its on its last legs,it was a non standard bit of hose that had blown up like a Johnny not suitable for oil. Will the system bleed itself with the engine running & cap off the reservoir & do i use normal ATF fluid,same as 2wd gearbox stuff. Its a 4x4 saph.

Cheers Simon.

cracked metal pipe where the bolt goes thru ?

The leak is the return pipe, not even really a leak just damp, but going to make some new braided pipes for it anyway.
