Where I'm suggesting it's leaking is the joint between 46 and 27/28

Or it could be any of the hose joints around the power steering cooler reservoir I suppose.
What colour does the power steering fluid look if you pull the cap off the reservoir?

Is that not all old stuff? It looks like it to me.
Has all that been properly cleaned off before?

Update

Car rev yo-yo is back!

And the ABS self-test is back at startup - yay!

But, its making a whining noise at self-test now (together with usual normal whirring noise) !!!

Heli-coil pack arrived for rear spoiler!

I drilled a bigger M8 hole
Then step2 was to use the tap?
But there is no handle/tool to use to tap to pre-drill the hole (make new thread)?!!!

Washed and quick detailed Luke with

Rear arches has bubbled thru now

Hope thats the worse now ...

Some on back of bottom sill

Spare set of 15" Enkei s I had
Fits nicely in boot

Refurbed £15/wheel

Again
Fits nicely in boot
But put one in car to avoid damage

BEFORE (17" Kahns)

AFTER (15" Enkei s)

Dunno
Maybe i too used to bigger and slicker tyres?
15" too small?
