I found a leak under my car - I was hoping it was coolant (see my other long running thread of denial).
Turns out it was power steering fluid.
It looked like the dmp patch starts near the left hand side of the radiator.
Is this a known failure point for the PAS pipework?
And do I need to replace the whole pipe or are there known workarounds?
(They seem to be pretty pricey)

It's a known failure point, the pipe rubs on the edge of the sump until it creates a hole.

Is this the right part number (for my RHD D2)?

QEP000082

Should I also consider changing this pipe too

ANR6974

Whilst I have the patient open is there anything I should look for?
