TD5 Under bonnet fluid leak, help identify please!?

<< < (2/2)

Strong Stuff:
Thanks for the replies, much appreciated.

That does sound most likely, that that pipes are rubbing, am surprised that it is the metal pipe that has worn through though.

This is where I find 47 other problems with my D2 when I start fiddling, you just know it is!  8-[

Range Rover Blues:
The pipes are made of cheese, so soft you can't crimp then properly or fit compression fittings.  A little bit of grit held in place by oil and you have a grinding paste that will wear through the metal quite quickly.  The rubber pipe's soft surface halps prevent it getting chaffed.
