I have had problems with my suspension I own a '99 1.9 Turbo Diesel
The problem may have started by me not keeping the LHM fluid topped up, this resulted in very bouncy rides. I changed all 4 spheresI topped up the resevoir and everything seemed fine (although I could not get the float to sit between the lines)...until yesterday I saw to my horror LHM leaking from one side apparantly from a sphere. Has anybody got any ideas? Please
(This is my 1st post)

It sounds though the rubber seal on the sphere isn't seated correctly.
Depressurise the system, unscrew the sphere and check the seal is where it should be.
By the way, the seal should be put into position on the suspension unit before the sphere is screwed in, not onto the sphere itself.
