Leaky ace

Yes they are...and if you want to keep the ACE keep filling the reservoir untill you fix it or you'll lose the pump too...then you'll end up on conventional anti roll bars

do a search for a local hydraulic supplier for pipes but be prepared need to get car plugged in to bleed.

unless it's the pressure supply pipe, then you have to be aware of that:
The flexible hose which supplies pressure from the pump to the supply pipe attached to the front cross member is
fitted with an attenuator. The attenuator comprises a bullet shaped valve which is located between two spiral wound
springs held at each end of the flexible hose. This valve operates as a restrictor to damp pressure waves of hydraulic
fluid from the pump, reducing noise and strain on components downstream. The attenuator is integral with the supply
hose and pipe and cannot be serviced separately.

... and if you dont disturb the valves in the valve block in 99% of cases it will bleed itself while running
 
The leak is about 30cm down from the reservoir where the rubber pipe meets the metal pipe
 
Will post a pic in morning ! It's where the rubber meets the metal pipe it's pipe number 12 on diagram can I just bypass this with compression pipes
 
i quoted from RAVE about the supply pipe...you are right, that's not nr12(my mistake sorry:eek:)...nr 12 is without atenuator, it's doable from normal pressure hose.
 
Hope this uploads
