I came home to find my driveway covered in fluid, closer inspection lead to the ACE resouvoir being virtually empty, the leak its self appears to be just after the swaged rubber hose from the resouvoir joins the smaller pipe. I am pretty sure as everything underneath this is soaking, I have followed the pipe all the way round the engine and cannot find a join anywhere and I'm guessing nobody could replace this in one piece with the engine fitted, could anybody shed some light on a possible fix and if there is another problem which may have lead to this leak as it just happened without warning.

Many Thanks.

System pipes
Fluid is moved through the ACE system via a series of pipes and hoses. The pipes are mounted on brackets at strategic points to assure quiet operation of the system.
The pipes from the pump to the valve block and from the valve block to the reservoir are one piece items which are fitted at the factory before the body is attached to the chassis. If these pipes require replacement in service, the pipes must be cut to facilitate their removal. ’In service’ replacement pipes are available in two parts with a connector to seal the joint.
The flexible hose which supplies pressure from the pump to the supply pipe attached to the front cross member is fitted with an attenuator. The attenuator comprises a bullet shaped valve which is located between two spiral wound springs held at each end of the flexible hose. This valve operates as a restrictor to damp pressure waves of hydraulic fluid from the pump, reducing noise and strain on components downstream. The attenuator is integral with the supply hose and pipe and cannot be serviced separately.
