Two questions -

How do we solve leaking hoses now that none of the suppliers list them for the KV6 engine?

Is there an overhaul kit available to fix a leaking pump?

I have this continual leak problem that so far no one has given any positive advice. the sequence of event was -

Leaking pump - I changed it.
Fluid leaking from the resevoir vent during a run - now piped to a catch tank but this remains empty.
Fluid now leaking from a joint (flexible to fixed) in the pipe from the pump.

I'm at my wits end. Is the pump generating too much pressure and can it be reduced? Any other ideas?
I must fix this, costing fortune in fluid and making a mess of the drive.
