Morning,
Xantia 2.1TD 98/R "Desire 2"
Driving home from work yesterday, 200 yards from home the big bad red STOP light comes on with the red (!) light.
Having had a look this morning theres a big puddle of LHM under the front of my car. Seems to be dripping fast from the front/centre sphere area (accumulator?), when the engine is running, and not when its not. There also a crystally-like deposit on the bottom of this sphere.
Is there anything I can do myself here to diagnose/fix? I'm a bit of a beginner mechanic, but I'll give anything a go...
Thanks,
Graham

If the Accumilator Sphere and regulator is fitted to the engine, which is possibly is, the Spheres can rattle loose and unscrew a bit leaving a LEAK Ive had this on a 1905cc TD Xantia, tightend the sphere and all was well...
Have you had an accumilator spere fitted recently? Check to see if you can rotate it by hand....
It could also be a failed pipe seal on the regualtor, reletivily cheap even from stealer...
