Citroen XM Forum

Went up to see KVG yesterday and took her for a couple of laps around the block, she hasn't been driven since mid November when I collected her and she drove quite well. Gear change was a bit stiff.... Well very stiff... But couldn't see any obvious problems with the linkages underneath. There is a small hrdraulic leak (see pic) not sure what it is but K-BAN has a leak in the same place.

The hydraulic leak looks like the pipe seals onto the regulator either need nipping up or new seals.

The leak could also be the crimped joint on the adjacent larger diameter low pressure pipe Ray as I recently had this problem on one of my cars! With regards, Matthew T.

This is the pic I should have posted, I cleaned the area to see where the leak was coming from and it looks like it's coming from this nut... Any suggestions on where to acquire new seals?

Glad you found the leak.

Try a tighten first, though.

Pleiades will be able to help you with replacement rubber seals Ray, although I would try just nipping up the connection first as suggested by Will. It might also still be worth keep an eye on the low pressure pipe. With regards, Matthew T.

Nice cars Ray, watch that n/s strut top on K725 though, it looks unhealthy.

Good spot there Dean, that does look as if its on its way.

I don't think Ray would say its good, but it is an observation.

It does look a little close...
