On my 2007's P/S reservoir the head of the suction line's Ideal clamp / worm-drive clamp / jubilee clip was rubbing against the return line to the point where the fabric was showing through.
All that was needed was to loosen the clamp and rotate it a quarter turn. In my case the head now points straight up. It touches nothing.
I will keep my eye on the divot worn into the return line. Maybe, being low pressure, the thing will be OK.
Every inch of the system I can see is bone dry-even the reservoir's neck.
Go check yours--right now.
Awaiting my Nobel Prize, Kira

Nice PM call Kira, but Nobels require pictures to go into the VRD

Mine is buried under the reservoir, and I couldn't pop it up to look (I was in Brooks Brothers, so couldn't get too dirty) - maybe on weekend
