My bike's not been ridden for about a year due to me having a slipped disc.
Seeing as it's improved recently, I got the bike MOT today.
Riding back, I noticed clutch fluid which appeared to be coming from the reservoir/pipe joint.
Is this likely to be the pipe that is split or due to what appears to be a crap way of clamping the pipe on to the reservoir?
What size/type of pipe will this be?
Unfortunately, there's been some dots sprayed onto the pristine red paint which have left marks. I assume there' no easy way of resolving that?
Good news is my back is fine and I haven't forgotten how to ride the bike. Just as bad smile

Probably the pipe rather than the fittings. The clamp method is actually quite good for what it is - just strong enough without being over-complicated and no possibility of clamping it hard enough to crack the fittings.

Ah OK, thanks for that.
