Leaky hydraulic spoiler...can hose be repaired?
I replaced the drivers in my spoiler about 1 1/2 years ago and i got the error light again.
I checked the drivers and one of them is leaking, but it looks like its just the hose that is the problem. Has anyone replaced a hose or know if you can buy just that part?
Thanks!

the lines use copper crush washers and banjo bolts try to tighten them first, if not change the washers. If it is the line itself leaking then go to a local hydraulic hose repair shop and they will make the hose for you as you wait. Dont tell them is for a Porsche and avoid the Porsche tax.

The power steering hoses were a known weak point in BMW's and rather than replace them I'd have a shop repair the hose. Never saw another leak again.
I know it boils down to cost but sometimes you wonder why manufacturers couldn't spend maybe a few $'s more to have a bulletproof part.
Oh, I forgot, replacement parts is where the money is made!

So it seems that the left one is leaking more that the right one, i went to the dealer and the guy from there told me that there is a "repair" kit for the lines/hose not for the hydraulics.
