Last month I changed the LHM suspension fluid on the Citro\u00ebn BX to Total Hyrdaflush<\/a> [READ MORE<\/a>] and finally had the car re-piped. I’ve been running the car and performing “cit-aerobics” periodically, and today I noticed the horror of horrors. A hydraulic leak on the Citro\u00ebn BX, next to the suspension!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finding the source of the leak<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Hydraulic
Hydraulic suspension fluid leak on drive<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The picture shows three separate puddles. I suspect from parking in slightly different places following essential journeys. Ironically, the last picture was an emergency trip to Toolstation after a leak sprung in the bathroom plumbing!

One of the best and worst aspects of the Citro\u00ebn BX is the hydraulic system which powers the suspension, steering and brakes. The puddles are obviously under the LHM reservoir, and a quick look underneath made it clear the fluid was coming straight down from the tank area. With the bonnet open, the source of the leak was confirmed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overflowing Reservoir<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The picture isn’t the best for showing the puddle of fluid. The area under the tank is sopping wet with LHM. The trail runs over the chassis leg (towards the alternator) and flows down. The fluid then tracks back across the underside of the chassis box section and down the side of the tie-down point. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fluid level was high, not so high that it was overflowing, and about where I had filled it to when putting in the Hydraflush. Surely it should be lower if it’s leaking so much? So I brought the suspension up and down a few times, then took the cap off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bubbles in the Fluid<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Suspension
Suspension fluid bubbles, and plenty of them.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I saw somewhat yellow-looking LHM, which seemed odd as the fluid was less than 100 miles old. However, I could see that the liquid wasn’t yellow but heavily aerated with some better light. The picture above doesn’t do justice to just how much air was initially mixed into the fluid in the tank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I concluded that the tank was overflowing when the hydraulic fluid foamed up. After a bit of thought, I reasoned that the most likely place for air to be getting into the fluid was the feed pipe to the pump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finding the source of the bubbles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Wet

The reservoir end of the pipe looked okay. Looking more carefully in the engine bay, I could see the pump was damp. A clear giveaway as to the route cause of the air getting into the system. The hose clamp was slackened off, turned a little to re-seat, and tightened back up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hopefully, this will be enough to sure the Citro\u00ebn BX suspension leak. Restarting the engine didn’t immediately show foaming in the tank. I suspect air has been creeping in when the car is idle. I’ll give it a day or two before starting her up again and see what happens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
