SMT warning light on What the dealer said....

On the dash, there is an SMT warning light that looks like a gear. Mine is staying on (red). I read hear about the need to flush and took the car into the dealer who did the flush for $300. Got in the car to drive home and the light came on again. Now the dealer is saying that there is a slight leak in the high-pressure system or the accumulator. They say it must be internal as they see no external leak.

Parts are no longer made and the few that are available are $$$$$$$$$ and that the engine has to come out to replace them. I've owned the car since new and it has 109k on the clock. I am at a loss. the car is in great shape otherwise and has been a joy to own.

Anyone else heard of this or have any other options?

Can’t get any of the three fittings to unscrew. Next option is to apply hih heat to the threads hat are exposed. I am concerned that this might melt The plastic collar or melt the o rings.
