Re: Brake douser leeks!
That return pipe is a common failure. its very difficult to get off as well as you have found out. Its unlikely to be another leak as well on the doseur as the LHM just tracks back inside the car and soaks into the felt under the carpet. Messy.

The rubber cap on the brake valve commonly leaks, the brake valve is the same on all hydraulic Citroens form DS to Xantia.
