ABC on CL600 (Again)

[arctic_sandstorm]

Hi guys, after some advice/clarification from you great brains on this forum...

After realising my previous ABC problem was basically a lack of fluid in the system causing it to not operate at the correct pressure, I filled the header tank and driving was fine.

Now (a month later) I have, what looks like a major problem. Just driven the car a short distance and the 'ABC Too Low, Stop' warning displayed itself. I limped the car back home to see fluid 'pouring' out of the bottom nearside skirt ahead of the front wheel. Basically the system has emptied itself.

Is there a reservoir there or some containment area or is it just a series of pipes etc hidden behind the front bumper?

Is this the 'seriously major' job that I thin it is, or is it easier because it's pretty obvious where the leak is?

Any info would, as always, be greatfully received. Especially on how big a load I may need to repair the damn thing

Thanks in advance
Andy

OK you have one pipe that crosses from one side to the other just at the rear of the engine. He have had one car that has had a rusted pipe and he lost all of the fluid from there.

Not sur if the pipes go in front on your car,see the link.

Thanks Malcolm, brilliant link, It's cleared up where I think the problem is, There is indeed a Pipe that goes across the front of the engine and it sure looks like it's coming from there in the area pretty much behind where the front, near side fog light is.

S'pose I need to start a charity fund to get it repaired coz I certainly don't like the look of trying to take that front bumper off to get to it!

Have saved the link for future reference as it was so helpfull, thanks once again.

I can give you all the help that you need to fix this as far as you can go,removing the bumper no problem

You can change the pipe your self but in the end you will have to find someone with Star to put it onto the rodeo test to get the air out, what ever you do keep the front wheels straight ahead for now until the air is out

I really appreciate that, Malcolm, Thanks.

I'm gonna set tomorrow aside for having a crack at finding exactly which pipe(s) have the problem and taking the bumper apart. I would be very greatfull if you could give me pointers in 'prepping' myself for this and understanding the correct process to take in doing so.
