It's such a slow leak it doesn't even leave any drips on the tarmac. Not sure it's the sump. That is cracked but I JB welded it up and it seemed ok when I cleaned it last night.

Hoping it's nothi ...

Ok, had a slow leak for a while now (about 1L every 1k) and I know it's not normal consumption as it never used to burn any and the underside is cankered in oil.

So, where can it leak from? It's de ...

Oh, ok. Just thinking that a higher viscosity at high temps might help.

Any advantage to be had you reckon by bunging in something like Redline ATF or perhaps a more extreme ATF?

Right. BTW, what temps can ATF take?

So if the oil should be ok why is it noisy? I don't want to arse about y'see doing all this for it to still sound like it's on the brink of collapse. Is there a chance it could've dragged some air t ...

Oh yeah. Easier as well prolly. What's your preferred method for draining the system Chris? If I disconnect the feed to the pump and then connect a length of hose to gravity drain it?

It's still ...

In the meantime I'm going to order some heat sleeving for the current return pipe as it runs past the exhaust manifold. See if that does owt.

Cable ties are the best thing for french cars! Did my sodding arch liner with them last week as the clip wouldn't hold.

Well as it's only the return pipe I'll just use the stuff similar to what I've already got spare. Then I'll shield the feckers with foil. What's best to secure the foil with, or did you just mean to ...

Does it have a sort of rubber, braid, then rubber construction?

I bought some hosing like that once for something. Is it fuel hosing or something. About 4-5years ago when I bought it.

All my piping seems to just be thick rubber.

Right, I've had a look. I reckon it'll squeeze in behind the front bumper in front of the rad. Routing the pipes would be the issue. I think, from what little I could see, that the return pipe had ...

I'm thinking rip off the rack>reservoir pipe then plumb it all from there.

Going to have a squiz round the engine bay etc tonight to see about routing for it.

What sort of hose is used on the ...

So it'd just be a question of finding some flexi piping to plumb it in from the rack then to the bottle? Presumably making sure the bottle remains the highest point in the system.

So it's just like a very small rad then? How do you reckon I'd plumb it in?

Top stuff. I'm off for a look on dialogys.

The PAS is the bane of my life at the mo.

What's this oil cooler you speaketh of? Sounds like exactly what I need.

I assume it was on the 19s?

Right, for those that don't know I had a new pump fitted last year. After a couple of trackdays it was moaning like a bitch and there was no assistance for a short while on cold startup. So new pump ...

The thread remained perfectly reasonable until you started having a fit.
