now i have no idea how to post pictures so i'll descrie it as well as possible

I had my actuator sphere changed about a month ago and then two weeks ago lhm started flowing out the front - just to the right of the actuator where a thin metal pipe goes in - thing is i don't think it is the pipe that is leaking - is it most likely the join, a failure in the part it joins to or a sphere failure - even full of lhm sphere is no longing "ticking".

I have a spare assembly including sphere and pipe so that may possibly help me out but how would i check that the sphere is good and i have no idea how to depressurise the system.

I'd love to sort this asap as my bx is a cracking little car which I love to bits

A resource you need here

To depresurise there is a pressur release screw on the regulator to the front from memory either 12 or 13 mm open ende spanner fits. Release it by no more than 1.5 turns. Also place into the low position.

Sorry cant find a photo at present but it should be obvious where the screw is? I think.
