Citroen Xantia Hydraulic Reservoir leak

[Alex568]

Hi Im new to the forum long story short. We have inherited a 31 year old Citroen Xantia that has developed a leak from the hydraulic reservoir that serves the suspension, brakes, power steering etc. The leak appears to be coming from the top of the reservoir where the pipes join the tank. Does anyone have an exploded diagram of the reservoir showing part numbers for seals etc and a supplier of parts

Thanks in advance

It is very common (almost universal) that LHM leaks from the top of the tank due to the pressure of the spring holding the lid on causing the plastic to deform and sag.

See: https://frenchcarforum.co.uk/forum/view ... hp?t=82143 for some possible solutions.

Also check it is not over filled.....but as said they "all do that Sir"

The split/drilled PVC tube is a very neat problem solver....
