Xantia Pressure Regulator Weepage/Drip

addo · Post by **addo** » 16 Jan 2009, 11:44

I'm pleased to find the pinion valve bone dry (touch vinyl!) but the main reg has a drip/splash of sorts going on.

Its upper surfaces look dry, and the sphere/reg seal looks good - no leakage apparent from there. Where the fluid seems to be coming from, is possibly the union between the screwed on lower "hat" which fits the leak-off hose, and the regulator body.

Fluid loss is slight, and occurs when there are system pressure fluctuations, such as parking manoevres. The accumulator was new in May 2008.

Any suggestions?

Thanks, Adam.

they do sometimes leak from the tail end of the body, around the edge of the end cap which the mounting bolt is threaded into, im not sure on a fix as i aint been there yet,

but im sure the likes of Jim will come up with the fix if that is were it is leaking from
