Brilliant thanks Xac that's just what I was after. 2x 4026 88 it is then.
It's hard to say if the o ring 4 o-rings are leaking or not, it doesn't look like they are though..
Thanks again. Dom.

Get the 402688s changed and give the pump a good clean.

Thinking about the cause of the leak, have you checked the state of your accumulator sphere?
If this sphere is pretty shot, pressure spikes from the suspension will 'hit' the pump doing it no good at all. As I understand it, the usual symptom is a leaky pipe union (or cracked pipe) but the flatter the sphere gets the more damage occurs.

I havn't to be honest with you. What you suggest does make sense though! I assumed that becuase the pump clicks every 90 odd seconds that the accumulator sphere would be in OK condition?
I do want to change all the spheres one day, I just need to make myself a pressure tester first. Don't suppose you have anything spare to make the tester adaptor thing with?
