Hydraulics

[old lager]

morning everyone ii am having a problem with the hydraulics on my 94 xantia,

it has started leaking at the front underneath the engine. i cannot see where it

is coming from,would anyone have a diagram of the pipe work,it seems to be directly

under the pump but it could be coming from anywhere.

thanks in advance.

If it still has the undertray on take it off for a better view. I had a leak on my '98 hdi which turned out to be the pipe to the steering rack from the pump. It's made up of shaped metal pipes joined by lengths of rubber hose. My pipe failed at one of the joins but did not leak that much. I was aware odd patches of oil on the drive occasionaly as the oil would gather on the undertray and then drip out when the car was stopped. That's the only leak I've had so I couldn't tell you any other likely source.
