Dry sump oil pipe connection fittings?

[NTEL]

Just noticed a slight leak on the scavenge pump suction pipework fittings where they connect to the dry sump. Does anybody know where I can get replacements and what to ask for? Tried tightening them up but to no avail so I assume they include some sort of rubber seal that has perished.

They all Leak Dave, even when new. It is common practise to lift the car and wipe down after every race. They are a swivel type fit and reidy can help you source if the leak is severe. a few drips however is common.

Thanks Neil, the one shown is very loose, even when the nut is tight. The other one at the front feels a lot "firmer" and doesn't leak.

Take them to a hydraulic specialist and ask them to make you some, a bit over kill, but your never then have to worry

Dave have a word with Charlie over the weekend, she used to work for ATEC http://www.atecautotechnic.co.uk/ so knows oily bits quite well.
