Oh dear. That's how mine started
It seems to be lower down, I hope it is a hose!! As I have dropped Fridays as a working day, I will check it then. It is concerning that it no longer reaches the vertical on the temp gauge, as I understand that is a warning sign?

That where you got that gunky stuff out of?
No the gunk came from the small bore pipes at the top.
My latest fun was the bottom hose from the water pump splitting

Maybe not on car rims, but BMW and (I think) Moto Guzzi adventure bikes with spoked wheels have the spokes laced to an outer rim section, so can run tubeless. Section through the rim looks a bit like a modified I beam on it's side.I don't know if it is possible to have wire wheels on a car with no inner tubes.
Kinda doubt it.

Fired him up for th efirst time in over a month, having at last got time, health, weather and escape from work to get the compressor fitted with @kurtjohnson10 's overhaul kit properly fitted. Compressor seems much quieter and smoother. Left him running for 5 minutes with the door ajar while I sorted stuff in the garage. Came back out, slammed the door and the rear bounced straight to standard height, front followed a little slowly. Seems to be sitting a bit down on one side but we will see how it is when he is out for an actual drive at the weekend. Be good to have him up, rolling along happily and giving us some magic carpet ride again.

The garage that MOT's mine asks me does the suspension raise,I think it is so they could put blocks to make jacking easier
