Firstly is it a 2.0 or 2.2 HDi?

My 2.2 HDi had a leak from the front, just inboard of the offside wheel, and all the front piping had to be changed. Different problem to yours I know.

 

 

If it's a 2.2 it could be a little more complicated due to the H3 + suspension (Sport button).

 

In my case the pipes were Citroen parts only, but the job was done by an independent Citroen specialist, saving me around £120 on the Labour.

never done the C5 pipes before but it should be the same as the xantia and you can buy the pipe ready made from the dealers which is best way because of its thin diameter not like a copper break pipe unfortunately the labour is the hardest part so if you do it your self you will save buckets of cash but you have to get dirty for that ;)
