Yes, this LDS suspension fluid leaking is normal after 10 years of use this car with hydraulic suspension. First time clean carefully the LDS fluid leaking area, then start the engine and move the body up and down by the command button, for few times at maximum. Now see where the leaking LDS fluid is coming from. Then you will need to replace bad hydraulic pipe with a new one. The hydraulic suspension system can only be depressurized and repressurized using "Lexia" diagnostic equipment connected to the data link connector of the car. Also the correct LDS fluid level in the reservoir will only be carry out using "Lexia" diagnostic equipment connected to the data link connector of the car, with the suspension system depressurized. Just follow instructions by the "Lexia" equipment menu.
Good Luck!

Since you have tried several fuses even stronger which you shouldn't and still blowing them, surely you have a serious suspension problem and I believe visit a qualified Citroen Garage for further inspection and repair if is required.

I have a citroen xantia turbo diesel and the rear fluid levelling valve is leaking. Can I get non patent or genuine parts cheaper than £140?
No. The levelling valve leak is usually an indication that there is wear in the hydraulic system elsewhere. Probably in the suspension cylinders. They supply too much hydraulic fluid on the return system when they get worn and as all connections are push fit on the return side leaks will show up at the weakest point.
The valve itself only moves 2mm max and not really a servicable unit.
How is the rest of the suspension? Do you have the electro hydraulic system with the larger pipes feeding the spheres? Some unscrupulous people neglect to replace or recharge the two centre spheres because they are difficult to access and this increases pressure on the whole system.
Replacing the valve is not a big job. But please be aware there are serious pressures involved and could result in injury. Also the set-up procedure has to be carried out on a 4 post ramp with Citroen tools.
Hope this helps.

Citroen BX 19 TRS REAR SUSPENSION PROBLEMS, WHICH
Ok, two possibles here. One is that your rear spheres have lost their gas. (Most likely, especially given age of car). Easy enough fix, and the spheres can be got from the likes of allmake for about 30 quid each. Other possibility depends on a couple of factors: if the car doesnt rise at all, after starting or changing the ride height, your main reservoir is probably at fault. If it does rise, but only at the front, then there is a fairly common issue within the levelling system. i cant remember exactly, but there is a ring that needs replacing. Give a citroen dealer a ring...they may even explain it over the phone...
