When I switched on my (Karcher KB 9030) pressure washer for the first time this year there was no pressure and water was gushing out of the casing. I opened it up and found that the plastic elbow (connecting the high pressure hose to the compressor) was cracked. So I Googled the part number, ordered a new part, fitted it. Easy.
I guess the frost must have got to it.
Then after a few minutes, use another leak started, identical to the first, but on the inlet side this time. No problem it was only a fine spray and it didn't seem to have any effect on the performance.
Then after about half-an-hour's use bugger me it developed yet another leak. This time it's a fairly major leak where the second inlet elbow joins onto the compressor.

I'm not so keen to tackle this problem because it looks like I'll have to remove the metal cover and I suspect it won't be quite so easy to reassemble.
Anyone got any experience of this?
