Hi guys looked under my sapphire this weekend and found powersteering fluid. I rung north Yorkshire rs spairs and he said it might be the bottle leaking but I checked and couldn't see anything, and ideas? thanks

 

I had a split in the pipe so had to get it welded up.

 

One of my pipes failed at the Union, prob best to remove and check

 

Ok cheers lads ill check them

 

I recently had a leak from the banjo Union end on the pump end of the hp pipe.
Got a new pipe from Graham Goode

Cheers Paul

 

Is the rack leaking fluid into the boots then leaking out of the boots.

 

It's unlikely the bottle would leak so I'm surprised he suggested that, maybe you mean where the hoses join onto the bottle?
I'd start by cleaning up the area if you can, best plan is get it on a ramp, if you have any friendly local garages you can ask, it may be be a wise idea to see my if they can take a look for a very small fee/free, saves messing about with jacks and such.

They tend to leak from either the rack itself, or most commonly the hose which joins on to the pump, where the metal part crimps onto the rubber hose, only way to sort that is get a new hose, as stated above GGR sell these or you can get an adapter for the rack and use a hydraulics company to make up a new hose. Not a very big system so it should be easy to find the leak.
