Activa throws its toys

[Deanxm]

Its taken 11k but ive just come home and niticed splaters of lhm inside the drivers front wheel rim, and drips on the outer edge of the subframe along with soaked undertray in the area and splatters all over that side of the engine bay although there are spots all over the engine tbh, pump is dry though, not very well atm either so not really got the energy for it, any clues as to what it could be before i get out there tonight gents?

Could it be return pipe popped off the dosuer valve?

[Deanxm]

the leakage seems to be coming from the front crossmember and blown back down the subframe past the P bush but i will get over the back and have a check first Xac thanks, there ia oil in the rads because i can smell it and its sprayed up the side of the ecu box too but you know what LHM is like it goes everywhere.

not just the strut return hose?

Accumulator return, front flex section to hardline adjacent your battery tray.

Saw off the plastic hose band, then carefully split the old hose off its barbs. Replace with PAS return hose and worm driven clamps; sorted.

Thanks for the help guys, i had a look this morning and its the main pump to pressure regulator feed pipe that has burst spraying a fine mist across the front of the engine and into the rads, i will put a seperate post up but if someone has one i could do with one asap.

Yes, the post in question is down in the For Sale/Wanted area ...

Dean, sorry to hear this Whereabouts is the split? If it's not near one of the flares I've successfully repaired them by sleeving and brazing them. I'm not saying it's a life-time repair but it'll keep you going until a new one is procured...
