Go with the advice of your mechanic but please ensure the feed line and the flare of the pipe is properly tightened at the threads. |

Have you been able to get a visual on where the pump is leaking from? 1 Like |

Piyke: Not exactly sir. Just relying on the mechs assessment. Why did you ask? If i visually locate the leak point, can smthn be done? Also Remember its been worked on before without sucx. |

nervorum: You should find where it is leaking from as this would show what is responsible. I have had leaks before and fixed them by locating the leak and doing the needful. Note that you can have a leak from the junctions between the metal return lines and the rubber hose...an example. you may just need to tighten a clamp. Also check for cracks on the high pressure line (the fat pipe leaving the PS pump, trace it to where it joins a metal pipe). To solve the leaks I've had over the years I have had to: 1. Replace inlet o-ring 2. Replace seals inside the pump (here, the leak was from the pump itself) 3. Tighten a clamp between the metal return line and rubber hose (you may need to remove the right front wheel; one of the junctions can be seen from there) 4. Replace the high pressure line. Note that these were done at different times! NB: Changing the pump without knowing where the leak is coming from is not wise. I seriously doubt the capacity off your mechanic as any sensible person trying to tackle a leak will first find the source of the leak. 1 Like |
