2. Flush it with vinegar for a few days to see if mineral deposits might dislodge or dissolve.
3. Carry on and just hope someday it all works itself out.

Take this with a grain of salt but I put CLR in mine for 5 minutes then flushed. Risky but worked for me.

They make a product called super flush which does wonders.

Found another leak... It was another one of those connectors on the plastic hose. I'm really bummed out! I paid more for actually OEM hoses yet these OEM clamps are causing me endless headaches.

So you bought genuine Land Rover parts, and they leak.
What's the problem? That's what they do, lmao!
Sorry man, had to, but I'm not laughing at your problems, because I've had countless ones with my D2 as well.
Hopefully that solves it for you this time.
