Help!!

Could anyone tell me what is called, what its for and where i can purchase one from , i need to replace as this is leaking diesel oil.

Cant find it in any books or online. i have a 3.3 Perkings Diesel Engine.

it's a vacuum reservoir tank for diesel engined motors, this is to "store" vacuum for the braking system

if it has liquid leaking out of it then it certainly won't hold a vacuum, so potentially your brakes are working below par

i'd pressure test it whilst submerged in water (only needs 20psi to show bubbles)

For some reason there seems to be diesel oil in it is this correct?

The pipe comes off the servo and then into what looks like a pump on the lower part of the engine?

i would expect there to be a small amount of oils in there as those were usually used in conjuction with a vacuum assist flap on the inlet manifold on the Series3 diesel 2.25, most likely it will actually be engine oil vapours settled in it

if your servo is plumbed to a vacuum pump then that reservoir isn't required and is just a "leftover" from the original system, you can leave it bolted to the inner wing or remove it to suit yourself when you have a vacuum pump

do NOT throw it away as there's bound to be someone that will want it, i passed my one on to another lad on OLLR who wanted one to complete his system, there would normally also be an extra few bits attached to the accellerator linkage and of course the flap valve on the inlet manifold with the original 2.25 diesel engine to complete this system

Thanks for the help.

Defiantly leaking its all over the chassis and springs area will look into either repair or replace but at the moment cant find one
