Pas x-head leaking

now thats interesting, i just had a peer inside and i have a hole at the base of the hole the screw goes into....now presuming that shouldn't be there!!! Could explain also why its defeating the new seal.

ahem......anyone have a 3b pump kicking about am thinking this one is dead

no its been refurbed in the last couple of years but the original....sounds wierd, noise rises with speed, I might have overtightened the belt so will renew the belt later and reset it.

Overtight belt sounds like a 'charger, BTDT. Quite like the noise, not so good for the bearings

I had a small weep on mine after fitting a new O ring and screw, so I put some Loctite on the threads and left it to dry overnight before runing the engine, that was probably 2 years ago and it's still leak free.

I'll ease her off a little

Loctite is a good idea which might actually make the possibility of using the car more likely too - cheers

The plug is there to blank a hole off, why would there not be a hole?

Have you checked the 2 small plugs? And the banjo bolt screens?

If its not them I bet there's a crack in the housing, maybe locktite will seal it.

PTFE tape on the thread with new seal, no leaky leaky
