Naturally Ezekiel couldn't be happy with an MOT pass and decided to make a show of himself on my mother's drive.

I've found a PAS fluid leak from the hose connecting to the lower pipe on the reservoir - the one bit of pipe I didnt examine and it has partially perished.

My brain says if I chop the metal pipe a bit further down then I can fit an olive and compression fitting, onto a hose to replace the perished bit. If I do this will it simply explode and launch the fitting into a low orbit... Or is the pressure low enough thatthat will be fine?

When I had it all apart I took it to the local hydraulic hose specialist who looked at me like I'd brought him something from another planet... So that's out

Even the high pressure side is within the clamping of a Jubilee clip.


So you need some oil resistant hose the same bore as the pipe diameter, and a couple of clips.


Easy
