I found out where its leaking from. Its the filter end of the pipe and
the leak is at the back of the flared head just where the nut compresses
into the flare. I found this out by filling my utility tub and
immersing one end it the pipe with the opening tightly shut with thumb
and blowing from the other end. As I did this tiny air bubbles
emerged. There is no way I could have seen this leak with naked eye.
and, I think, no way any epoxy would have worked.

Only remedy now is new line and proper support mounts . Can someone
tell me where the line is supposed to be supported?

Welcome Taejin: Always nice to have more mechanically mined peugeot
owner-enthusiasts on board. By the way, as a new owner of a Mi16, I am
a little troubled by all this talk of dash replacement on the 405.
What's the story here? Are 405 dashes known to be prone to
cracking/fading etc? Mine looks ok now but should I take any preventive
measures (someone once mentioned murphy's soap oil followed by auto
leather conditioner with UV protection.).

Thanks

Anup Pahari
