Just got my truck back from having the starter replaced and noticed after a good drive the amber ACE light came on.

It looks like there is a leak somewhere. I saw a small trail of fluid up the driveway, so the fun part is finding the leak.

Is there anything that sticks out when it comes to finding the leak?

I have an extra set of the ACE lines, but how likely could it be that something is loose, or maybe the rubber hoses or reservoir might have a leak? after back to back repairs i'm pretty poor now and need to get this figured out.

Any suggestions are helpful as always, and I am scouring the forum reading everyone elses ACE problems to find something similar. Thanks.

 

I've a leak from where the pipes connect to the valve block, but it's easy to see as there's oil showing...

 

Has anyone machine an ACE valve block to remove corrosion? Or what recommendations do you have for leaks between pipes & block? Tried new seals, but only reduced not stopped leak.... Thanks in advance.

 

I also have a leak with my ACE that I need to deal with. I found mine by power scrubbing the engine, top and bottom, refilling the fluid and going around the block once. I found mine to be the high pressure line from the pump down.
If you are going to continue to drive the truck you might want to pull the fuse in the engine compartment and if you can't afford the repair right now, buy the shorter non-ACE belt to by-pass the pump until the repair is made. Also when done buy and use only synthetic P/S fluid for better operating performance.

 

Also check under the airbox at the banjo bolt on the ACE pump(hose coming from reservoir). A TSB was released by land rover concerning the banjo bolt not being torqued properly.
