Default Hydraulic steering: lines with severe soft spots
Hi NG,

A few years ago I topped up up the reservoir of my steering system
with BP 22 High Performance hydraulic oil. Everything works ok but now
I discovered a few stretched spots right after the hydraulic pump.
Could it be this BP oil affects the plastic lines? Any ideas about
cause and/or solution?

TIA, Len.
