C5 leaking suspension

[Dextraspecial]

Hello guys,

i would greatly appreciate any and all information you can give to me on this matter.

My C5's suspension is leaking from the pipe that runs from the near side (what i believe is the) hydraulic reservoir to the pump on the off side.

More specifically its leaking at the point where the pipe is anchored to the sub frame.

What is the best method of repair/replacement?


Much obliged.

Well the oil reservoir for the suspension and steering is immediately behind the pump on the offside and I believe that the two small diameter suspension pipes for the rear axle run down the offside also.

I wonder if the pipes you are referring to are the pipes for the power steering, about 10mil diameter rubber pipes, weeping of these is a common occurrence on older cars, seems, in my case at least, to be due to poor crimping of the metal unions onto the pipe.
