Leaking LHM fluid reservoir
Posted: October 6, 2012 Filed under: Hydraulics | Tags: Citroen, hydraulic fluid, leak, LHM 2 CommentsWe recently had a D Super 5 in the workshop with a hydraulic leak from near the front of the car.
Upon investigating we found the leak was from under the fluid reservoir and expected a loose or perished return hose to be the culprit. Inspection with a torch and mirror showed that it was the reservoir itself that was at fault, due to a tiny rust pit in the bottom of an otherwise rust free reservoir!
After emptying and removing the reservoir, it got a thorough clean inside and out and the hole was soldered up before refitting to the car.
