Hi,
I need some advice about the Rover 25 Turbo Diesel...
I loaned one of these cars (W Reg) from my company - as I was planning to perhaps make them an offer for it - and it suffered a serious leak of an oil pipe external to the engine.
I had to get it fixed at a local garage and will have to claim back the costs from the company. I would like to know how to describe the component as I will need to justify why the car needed to be repaired "there and then" as the garage told me it was undriveable.
I have no idea what this pipe is for - pehaps the Turbocharger or oil cooler as I do not have any manuals.
See the following links for pics of the oild pipe and the new pipe in place.

99% sure its a power steering pipe & very poorly looking at the state of it. Dab a finger in the oil on the drive if its red and translucent then its ATF and PAS fluid. I assume its not an Auto in which case it could be a transmission cooler but the pipe looks too large for that.
How far did you drive it after it failed as it won't have done the pump much good if it was far?

I am now convinced it is an oil cooler pipe as it goes in and out of a small finned heat-exchnager thingy next to the radiator.
