ok i ran it while up on the stands and i found its leaking from what appears to be 2 spots the above pic is where the main leak is coming from (on the old pump and line)

this one is either a secondary leak or where its dribbling down sorry boutt he bad pic

Did you recently fit this rack?
and if so did you replace the copper washers with new ones?
The Cultus rack in my daily driven suzy was leaking from everywhere.
I replaced every single washer and cleaned it up and not a drop since

i recently changed the pump and the line of the pump(old one in above pic), funnily enough the line where it joins to the rack is where it is leaking.
i dont remember having any washer, DOH!
looks like i need to take it off again and put in some washers, copper you say? not rubber?
any auto place should be able to supply them hey? or should i go visit enzed?
cheers man, oh and it was only leaking from the one spot, the other bit is just drip.

yeah either side of the connection you need a thin copper washer.
You can get packs of them on the same racks as screws,clips etc, form place like supercheap.
