There is a rather rapid leak seemingly from the uppermost of the steel pipes running along the crossmember behind the engine. Looks like it is where a rubber hose pushes over the steel pipe and has a sort of crimped bit of metal presumably to seal/hold it in place.
Anyone know if this is the standard setup or a bodge of some sort?
Didn't have enough light to investigate further but I guess it's not a rotten octopus as Jonkw replaced that in April.
Hopefully there's a quick way to remedy as the TZD is needed for a trip to Pembroke
Green blood leak...

If it's on the back of the subframe, it's the return pipe from the rear end of the car, height corrector etc. So it's probably just the rubber that's perished and will need snipping at the end and pushing back on with new clip.
If it's on the front of the subframe, I'd guess it's the PAS return, same fix as above.

They think it's all over, it is now!
