• Pipe split, cracked or corroded through at a weld or bend
• Oil residue tracking away from a joint
• Coupling hoses ballooned, torn or blowing off

🛠️ Service Notes

• Fit new coupling hoses, seals and clamps with the pipe, as these are the usual leak point
• Check the pipe is clean inside before fitting so nothing is drawn into the engine
• Recheck the clamps after a short run, as they bed in when hot
