Should tightening it up stop it!! Trying to diagnose before I get back from the Middle East Edited May 16, 2015 by Daz1986 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
la bala Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 A little tweak on that union would be my first thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daz1986 Posted May 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 I am no mechanic but guessing it's a case of 2 spanners ( one each side ) and give her a tweak ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz1986 Posted May 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 Is it power steering fluid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 Looks like power steering fluid. Tighten the union up or undo and PTFE tape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonny thomas Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 Is that a repair or an original joint ? If its a repair there may be an olive inside thats passing a bit don't go mad tightening it up it's aluminium and easily stripped turning a small leak into a big headache Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-G Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 I'm iffy about one of the cable tied pipes being forced against the other - possibly chaffing and eroding the sidewalls where they meet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
