Default Guess it's time for a hose job ...

Despite the low mileage (36000) and a pressure limiter that I installed, looks like the green shower is trying to happen at the pump. May as well do the hydraulic rams while I'm at it. Sigh ....

I bought mine (pdf) at JagDocs.com. Wasn't very expensive as I recall.

you can download the workshop manual for free off of this site!! You can also download the JTIS as well. The links are in the first few threads of the main XK8/XKR section

It looks to me from your photo that the leak may be at the o-ring seal inside the compression nut, rather than a hose failure. Let's hope that's it. My suggestion is to get everything dried off, check the nut for snugness, and then exercise the system to see if you can pinpoint where the fluid is coming from.
