What I was getting at Jan was, that they aren't leaking, because they are 100% LHM tight. If the car was so leaky, that it emptied itself, it wouldn't leak any more, as there would be no LHM left to leak out.

I like to keep a good stock because a hydraulic pipe failure usually consumes about five litres - and I've had a few, mostly on my sons car, due to physical damage rather than rust
