Leak off pipes

[John B]

I've noticed today that my leak off pipes are leaking but only replaced them about a year ago so I know I need to get them done but was wondering will it affect the performance ? :thumb2

Well they are called "leak off pipes" after all.
Clue is in the name...

Now if they were called fuel return pipes, then they wouldn't leak.:nenau

:lol:lol:lol

Check the compatibility of the pipe material with diesel, it might soften it and hence the leak.
Were the replacements cheap...?:nenau
:doh

Be careful it does not leak onto the clutch and contaminate it!! If it leaks enough it will do. So don't ignore it for the sake of a few quids worth of pipe and half hour labour!!!

Is this the stuff as mines quite bad now too, just needed to get the old one through the test which I've done.

My old girl was starting to show clutch slip when on inclines or when steering around a car pulling out of a driveway for example, as soon as rick changed the pipes my symptoms went away... Pretty obvious answer :thumb2

Is there any way we can store links like this, as Alex has stated, they can be hard to locate items such as good pipe and clips and other items that are sometimes linked on here.
