I am losing a little oil from the power steering system on my M119 500. It seems to be coming from the small section of rubber pipe that lets fluid from the reservoir into the top of the pump itself.
I managed to get a screwdriver onto one of the jubilee clips that secure the ends and get half a turn onto it however, it didn't seem to make any difference.
I decided to remove the reservoir and replace the hose however, after removing the two allen-headed securing bolts and the return pipe connection, the unit is still attached to the engine and doesn't want to move.
Am I missing something with perhaps a hidden bolt or should I just tap a bit harder?!?
