Hydraulic hose.

[dak@lemur.raster.Kodak.COM (David Kavanagh staff)]

Since replacing my pump, I've noticed seepage from the front banjo joint.
This connects to the damper hose which goes to the accumulator (aka. bomb).
I tried once to re-torque it, but it started leaking again. I decided that
there must be some restriction in the hose (as Bently indicates there could be),
and that I should let it seep there instead of blowing a seal on the pump.

My question is about that hose. It seems to be in two pieces. Are one or both
of those pieces prone to clogging? Can I clean it out? Should I just order
a brand new one? I'd like to be done with hyrdraulics once and for all,
but I fear the Audi Gods won't let that happen. Help!!! :-|0>
