Well it is the 3 way hose that joins side of stat housing the end of hose has perished and a bit of the hose broke off its got a horshoe type clip on it that you open with pliers I opened it and slid it backwards slightly and also moved it round on hose it has resealed and appears to have stopped the leak just been for drive and it wasn't leaking when I pulled back on drive so temp fix at least which just may keep me going until I find a replacement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
