I need a set of oversize pistons for my 1500 engine. Are there any clever solutions out there apart from buying standard Ford oversize ones?

Richard Sutherland-Smith ( snipped-for-privacy@clear.net.nz) gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying :
Dunno if they're any use to you, but I've got a set of brand new pistons for a 2.0 Corsair v4...
Gawd knows what postage from the UK to NZ'd be, though...
0,5 mm, or 0,75 mm or 1,0 mm oversize. 109 euros each (Ford Pinto ones are cheaper);

Tell me about the Pinto ones please?

for a '99 Saab. What is it really?
I have a leak in the system. I pulled out the back seat tonight and pulled the side panels off but the pump is dry so I can't see what is leaking. I left puddles everywhere I went for a couple of days and had not used the top so I am guessing and hoping that I just have a line problem but I don't want to fill it with $38 a bottle liquid gold only to have it run out on the ground.
So what is this mystery liquid that costs so much? What is a good cheap substitute that can be used for testing purposes?
