Xantia V6 Green Blood leak

[f00lzz]

Hi All.

I have a really major leak somewhere under the Hydraulic Fluid Tank... after taking the tank away the source of the leak is not plainly obvious especially after I managed to slop some of the fluid around while removing the tank and pipes.However 'this' (see pic) seems to be a likely candidate whatever it is. Is it likely that this can be the culprit? And what is it?

Hmm doesn't seem to want to play... let me try again.

I must be doing something wrong... not my day is it!

It's the stupid 'swear' filter changing Cit roen to Citroen with dots above the e. I'll have a go..


Nope can't get it to work! Just copy and paste this into your address bar and delete the space in the word Citro en. Mods - can we remove this stupid swear filter entry, just confuses searches and links such as this!

As far as I can tell by the way, that's your anti sink valve, and I think it's a common ish issue for them to leak from an end seal, as you're experiencing!

No good... not come across this problem before. However thanks for the info. Can I get replacement seals or will I have to change complete?

[addo]

Common O-ring; it's the green one from the LHM pump overhaul set. I haven't checked but it may be an AC o-ring; hence the colour...

As an FYI, my car has a perfectly dry antisink (odd!) but the O-ring under the pressure warning switch has died. This is easily bought as a 14×2 at a bearing house, although PSA reckon it's 14×1,9. Be sure to specify oil resistant material if you buy this one to replace "while you're at it".

Thread with pics and part number reference here: Anti sink leak

I've added a thread to the handy hints and tips. Might be worth chaning this as routine now when LHM is changed to prevent problems later!

Thanks for the help guys... I can see a sliver of green seal on mine so perhaps it as protruded slightly, hence the leak. Do these end caps just unscrew?

[VertVega]

Just unscrew the cap. Some of them are very tight which needs a tool with a good grip.
No spring or popping up parts behind

Brilliant... thanks for all your guys.
