I have a hose leaking under the reservoir of my LAD/PS system. There is a brake manifold and the heater valve is on top of the area of leakage.
Can anyone that has or had an engine out take a picture of that area under the hood so I have some idea how to tackle this repair?
It looks like it will take two more joints in my arms and much smaller hands to do the job. I would prefer not to take the brake and heater parts off to do the job, but it may be necessary.
Closing down the LAD system won't work as the leak is on a line that drops out the bottom of the reservoir. I use my Touring as a replacement for a pickup, so LAD is actually a good thing for me.

Thanks for any help.
