Hey guys, I will do my best to explain. I think I have had a very minute leak for months but it was just enough to moisten up that area. It just got worse yesterday morning, and by last night it was enough to drain the reseviour empty. Here's my go at describing where it is. Following the reseviour it is where it does a u bend up against the engine towards the belt pulley. It seems to leak where it is rubbing up against the engine bay, and some rubber has deteriorated and has come off. I think it is where two lines join.

Can anyone shed some light on this. Sorry about the rough description

This type of thing happened to me about 5 years ago; I chopped the fitting off the end of the hose and pushed the rubber along to cover the worn hole, the double hose clamped it with one directly over the hole. No problems or leaks since.
