Heads up on hydraulic leak in Engine bay
Was out in the TT the other day and noticed a leak from the engine (RH side).
Pretty significant leak, would fill a tea cup in 5 mins.
Got the car towed and discovered a pressurised hose attachment failed at the pump.
Online research revealed this type of failure can easily result in a fire as the fluid leaks onto the exhaust and/or turbo.
Not to mention the risk of steering failure as the fluid leaks out.
Good to know.
