Do you need the pipes or just the O-rings at the ends? I had to replace the O-rings on my old V6.

i took it to my brother in law's garage today and he said the pipes are corroded. so i think i need the pipes. now i know here the leak is coming from i will take them off and have a better look.

it is a known issue with them - i've had two sets fail on me already :(

Glad to see that some-one has been able to get some made up for a decent price though - just in case i would cover these in axle grease or paint to make sure they dont go the same route as the originals...

yes, good idea. I know Pirtek will make them up if you take them your old one's as a patern.

If your ones are showing signs of oil.

Change them, sooner than later. Smokey had them go on a new car he had just bought and killed the engine.

Where did you get them from?
I may need a set as mine is leaving bright orange puddles around!

Skillen, if its bright orange, could that be the power steering fluid rather than oil???

I was thinking more it was leaking the coolant from its pipes.
Losing coolant and no mixing with the oil elsewhere.
