Update?


Earlier you said one of your hydraulic lines was rusty and perhaps leaking. Clean it. Search for the source of the leak! Be a detective!

I suggest before buying a junkyard rack you follow Bill's advice from his previous post.


"Put your car on ramps and de-grease (clean as best you can)) all around the
rack and the plumbing lines. Maybe you'll get lucky and find as I did with a
740 years ago that the hydraulic line was leaking and NOT the rack.

If you find the hydraulic line is leaking, it's a lot cheaper and easier to
replace or sometimes repair the leaking section of steel tubing with unions
and new tubing if you have room to cut and flare the tubing, than replacing
the rack."


If it is the line, my first choice would be replacing it. Not cheap though. If you do go the patching line route we can help you with line patching advice if you need it.

If you do need a rack and can't find one locally, the following two used Volvo part stores have good reputations and might be able to help.
