Replacing Plastic Pipe on Slurry tank pump

    We have an abbey slurry tank which is leaking oil from the pump. There is a plastic pipe on the back of the pump which is leaking oil. I am just wondering is there anywhere that sells spares for these pumps? Would any plastic pipe of the same size do? Does anyone know where I could find a manual for an abbey slurry tank? Not sure what the model number is.....

    EDIT: found spare parts manuals on the abbey tank website, so going out now to get the pump model from the slurrry tank...although none of the pumps seem to resemble ours, it's fairly old!

    The only letting we could fins on the pump was BP 79 on one side and SE on the other, neither of which seem to be a pump model....

    Just take the pipe thats leaking off and take it to a garage that does hydraulic fittings and they should sort you out:D

    If its leaking at either end is there anyway you could just cut off the section thats leaking and put back on the orginal pipe. Obvisously if there isnt enough lenght you cant do that;) motor factors are another spot you could try guessing its the small diameter clear pipe thats oiling the vains

    Doesn't look like the easiest pipe to remove, it's encapsulated in metal for most of it and just shows a bit at the front to show the oil level i'm guessing. you woudln't happen to know anything that I could just put into the creavise in the pipe and see would it hold it? coudln't find a manual anywhere on the pump, so i'd say i'd have to bring the whole thing to somebody who knows more about it than me to replace the pipe! thanks for the ideas!
