Mine was an early one (pre-production car). From memory, it had corroded slightly between two seals inside the main body, probably due to a previous lack of antifreeze The damage was small and I was able to repair with chemical metal and carefully file down to shape.

Worked perfectly....until I cross threaded one of the feed pipes refitting it....

Luckily, Rimmers still had them back then, about £200 IIRC.
