LSI Convertible Top Hydraulic Kit
#21
I installed the relief valve in April 2010 with no problems. Yesterday wanted to check the pump fluid level and there was just a little pump oil in the area under the pump. It looks like I`ve got a VERY small leak at the fitting on the hose end that goes into the L shaped fitting on the pump ( this is the fitting you had to align, hammer or whatever to allow clearance for the LSI valve install). It is such a small seepage that my reservoir level was ok. For now I wrapped a small piece of a rag around the hose end ( such an elegant solution...I know!) and I`m just going to keep an eye on it. Can anyone tell me where this leaky hose I mentioned goes to? I`m thinking of replacing this hose only. Thanks all!

Sorry to hear about your leak!!
The JTIS, Section 501-18 clearly states that the 2 inboard connectors ( ie the ones you can see without removing the pump) are for operating the top latch. The 4 hoses connected to the outboard side of the pump are for the lift/lowreing cylinders.
There is lots of information on the forum for replacing the latch hoses. You basically get to disassemble the inside of the car and its a big pain in the A!**. Make sure that your leak is from the hose to connector. It is possible that you just need to tighten the connector to the angle fitting.
Good luck!!!
