Hi folks. Sudden onset of leak of hydraulic fluid at the union of hydraulic hose to rear calliper. As light was fading and working conditions were not great, I only managed a brief inspection. The connecting bolt was tight. However, I removed it & had a quick look around. My question is whether there are meant to be any sealing washers on the mating surfaces? (Non banjo shape, but banjo type connection) I suspect not, as the block on the end of the hose seems to be machined flat but leaving a bit of a spigot around the bolt hole. Does this spigot perform as if a sealing washer? The surface of this spigot seemed somewhat pitted, which surprised me. Checked everything was clean, reassembled and leak still apparent. The fluid seems to seep under the head of the fixing bolt. The fluid loss seems to be far more than I would have expected, Brake pedal will reach floor without engine power assistance in about 10 seconds.
If no washers are employed I guess I'm looking to replace the rear hose assy. ? Not sure how the flexible hose fixes onto the actual brake pipe? Anybody out there replaced rear calliper, or hose/pipe?
