hydraulic leak

[Konstantin Bogach]

Jim,

my sedan 200tq '89 had a leak in that place.  It was there a year I owned  the car and I am sure
it  leaked a while before. One cold morning when I start the car I've heard loud groaning. When I
opened a hood I discovered that a leak turned into big spray. Pentosin was drained within a
minute.  After I removed the hose I noticed big crack in it in the area you describe.  I rebuilt
the hose at Aeroequip dealer. Perfect job.   I don't have metal part and I don't see o-ring
versions on junk yards.  Metal rings version is in abundance.

Good luck.

Konstantin Bogach.
