    Quick one.

    There is apparently (from the rego inspectors) a slow weep of PS fluid from "somewhere" and it's dripping off the sway bar. It's very minor, as I didn't notice anything under there last night. I'm thinking possibly crush washer on the banjo, but need to know every possible outcome that show the leak up here.

    Nothing up top at all, only showing on the sway bar.

    Yep, second on the high pressure line. It will look fine, but weep through the actual hose. I'd put brand new ones on, replace the lot then it will be good for another 20 years. The crush washer's don't seem to leak too much.

    You can get one made up at Pirtek or any hydraulic repair place.
