Then let us know which parts you need. Even sent over from uk they won’t be that pricey
Will do! :thumbsup:
Look very carefully at the bottom pipe on each side where it bends into the ram. If they corrode they get tiny pinholes in them.

I couldn't fit my phone (or my head in this matter) where the rams and pipes connect, but with a boroscope it seems to leak just around here.

My apologies for the poor quality, but this is the best I could get the boroscope to show where the leak was.

I'll try to get someone with a better scope to check if it's that the ram or the pipe that's leaking onto the ram.

Can’t even tell if it’s a boy or a girl from that tbh. :D

Haha! Seems like I can't upload videos to this forum but it seems that fluid is dripping pretty quickly from that area.

Both sides seems to be weeping but the side closer to the pump (left side) drips more quickly than the other.

For now, ISO 42 fluid top up for each cycle seems to be a good enough sacrifice for the roof gods :fuelfire: .

Will get it seen soon, thank you! :thumbsup:
