Thread: HELP - tearing my hair out - td5

Mine had an annoying small leak for months from around the filter housing mount. I replaced the gasket..........twice, checked everything I possibly could and eventually found a slight hairline crack in the housing. It would leak when the engine got hot, but I couldn't see the source. Had me stumped until I over tightened the mounting bolts (rule #3 - tighter equals less chance of it leaking) and it got worse and I could actually see the leak. I don't recommend you ever over torque anything, but it worked for me in the end.

OK, so I've fixed the turbo oil leak - it was the drainpipe flange - all good now.
PAS no good. Spoke to my go-to Landrover mechanic this arvo - he says you can't reseal the PAS pump, it has to be replaced. Hoping he can do it tomorrow, or later in the week, as I don't think I've got the time ATM.
After all, its only money
thanks all for your help & suggestions
