Default 3 door cosworth turbo water feed pipe

Hi all , just pulled up in the garage an noticed steam coming out of my bonnet vent , lifted the bonnet and its spraying out of the metal pipe that goes across the cam cover .

Where can you get new ones from and I have a t34 so are they different ? I need the car at the moment to.

Thanks

Dave

Has the pipe spilt at the banjo fitting, the usual place for them to go?
If so, you can cut it off neat, drill out the bit in the banjo and have it re-braised on.

I'm not sure mate , there wasn't one on there when I took it off ,but just lifted the bonnet and its hissing where its leaking slightly on the turbo side so you may be right.

Should be a banjo washer either side of the banjo to get a proper seal.

yes, two copper washers either side of the banjo. only a couple of quid on ebay.

I got a new 3dr pipe off a guy selling bits on PF. Cost me a fiver, there's plenty about , but the 3dr ones are a bit scarcer than the later sapphire ones.
