pull and check big hose on res Posted by henry helfman [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: PS issues, Huey`, Sat, 3 Feb 2007 15:38:57 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
It may just be a hose
I had the same problem a few weeks ago. It started with a groan and foamy fluid and eventually started leaking which made it a little easier to trace.
Do your hoses look wet? I had been searching this site and everything looked okay from up top until I removed the res and hose off it to see a tiny split on the end of the larger hose. Evidently it's common because the hose is manufactured with a split to fit over a notch molded in the plastic reservoir. Over time the hose hardens, vibrates and the factory notch cutout continues to split.
I was able to solve it by cutting off the first 3/8" of the hose and it's been good since. If that's the case for you don't bother making a new slit, you don't need it.
