[QUOTE="marcusthehat, post: 3791504, member: 61430"] Thanks all, I did carefully "sweel", as near as possible a single layer of electricans tape around the whole area prior to refitting, on the basis that if it was still leaking, hopefully the high pressure jet of oil would leave a telltale split in the tape. I am leaving the pipe in-situ until Mon morning, I will then see if this tape-tactic worked. Be bugger to make up fittings to pressurise, with a big banjo bolt at one end and an "O" ring sealed flange at the other, I will price up a replacment Monday regardless, if punitively expensive, splicing in a short length of megaflex hose may be a workable alternative. PS I presume "in the trade" some sort of crack finding dye technology exists? cheers again mth yup! the technology exists see link [URL]https://www.rocol.com/products/crack-detection-dye-penetrant[/URL] [/QUOTE]
