Hello folks.
Last week I spent the week fixing 5 leaks on my Activa, unfortunately in doing so we seem to have started a fairly substantial leak from the front height corrector. For the record we were working no where near the front height corrector.
It is definitely a new leak as when I was under the car I could quite clearly see the HC, it wasn't dirty, purely green from the leak. It appears to be on the low pressure side of things, or even the leak back side of things. It seems like the return hose is still in situ, so I'm not sure what is causing it. Could it be that fixing the other leaks has pushed the problem to the next weak link and that is what has caused it?
Thanks for reading, any suggestions are welcome!

These things happen Dom... Easy enough to sort out...
Here's a guide to rebuilding the HC...
Pleiades should be able to supply new seals, amongst others...
Hope that helps...

Re: Leaking front height corrector
Check that the HC leak-back pipe is not blocked (or trapped, as I did, on XM). Fluid needs to be able to freely leave the HC and return to the reservoir.
