The adapters themselves shouldn't provide any major source of leakage but the 
input and output hoses do.  There is very little room to run the hoses without 
contacting the shock towers.  Anywhere there is contact is potentionally a 
source of wear and eventual leakage.  Always buy the braided steel hoses 
because of this problem.
