Check the radiator and alloy pipes. Mine was spilling oil like hell all over left side of the car from the bumper up to the rear of engine frame mount. Luckily it was short drive , so I didn kill the PAS pump by dry run Bow down
Mainly pipes of radiator around plastic clips that hold them to the main radiator frame.

Apologies for the thread resurrection....

Mine has also succumbed to the leaky power steering cooler.. it appears that the part has been superceded so hopefully the newer type will be an improvement. I've bypassed it for now to keep it running, seems semi pointless in our climate anyway.

Usually there is oxidization of the pipe under the bracket

Hello, found this tread as I have a PS fluid leak in the same place, turns out I have a hairline crack in the alloy pipe circled below for the oil cooler after inspection - dried the area and then turned the wheel to see what was what - slight drip.

Sounds like it’s a total pain in the bum to change. I’m I right that there is an upgrade to this part or have read a previous post wrongly?

Is there any solution to fixing a hairline crack in this thin pipe? E.g. https://bondrite.co.uk/product/aluminium-e...ehicles%2C


And using a previous post’s picture…
