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.

Hi Derek

I just like to have a good stock, you know what its like, you get some unexpected good weather on a sunday afternoon and want some Lhm and you cant get any, i like it there in case of emergencies too, although ive never had one it doesnt hurt to be prepared

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 :x
