G`day Ron
A mates just done his , you may be aware of the following found .
The top pipe was misaligned as in didn`t go into the tank at the correct angle . The new pipe was the correct angle , and the lower pipe was correct but replaced anyway .
Where his leaked was not at the pipe or seal .
The problem was ( and by all accounts is a common one ) that the way the pipes are fixed/secured . The plastic cracked at the back of where the pipes connect caused by the pressure of the mounting bolt ( we pressume ) the fluid was escaping in the same manner as yours is after reassemble ( the fault was thought to be the o rings ) .
If a little more plastic was used in the mould of the plastic tank it wouldn`t occur and one would expect to see an update but the new one is the same .
This car is now fitted with a removable lower frame ( cut and joined with straps and 10mm bolts ) for next time .
Cheers
