Default Jalpa Water Hoses

I just replaced the majority of the water hoses on my Jalpa. For those of us in the USA who don't have easy access to Metric size hose, the following is what I used on my Jalpa.

Hi Mike

That's really useful.

Looks like I might need to do the same.....anyone help me identify what this leak could be, and where it's coming from? The photo is looking down from above the driver's (LHD) side of the engine, to under the air filter inlet pipes.

Thanks,

Robin:

From what I understand in talking with Terry at Orlando Lamborghini, when you get a leak in that area, its usally coming from the main gasket under the distributor. I know mine has a small leak from that area. Its not bad yet....
However, I know they sell a kit that replaces that gasket, the seal for the waterpump and a few other odds and ends. Terry said that usually if a Jalpa sits for awhile without being run, thats when you see the gasket fail and the leaks start.
