Hi Dave,
not getting much response there are you. Maybe you've invented a new problem?
Never had trouble with 2 models over about 500K myself so don't have a clue.
Losing fluid is one thing but where from is possibly more important. If there's a heap of old oil/grot over the engine bay it may pay you to clean the lot up then follow the lines and try to find the leak. It would be rare to have fluid transferring to another dimension without a trace.
Find the joint/seal/whatever that's leaking and your problem may become clearer.
Good luck,
Col

Toorak,

Can you see the source of the leak?

Look for damp/oily spots, and if it is leaking fast, then the source should easy to find.

Just check the top hoses onto the pump.. there only hose clamps and the hose does go soft. Might just need the end trimmed off and re clamped.. all I did to mine and its been good since..
