o-ring? isn't there a gasket, not an o-ring? I can't remember though, i could be wrong. If it's leaking from the hose, rpl the hose & re-finish the fitting. if it's the fitting to the lower fitting, rpl the gasket/o-ring. if you feel cheap & don't wanna spend money, sure rtv it up.. clean the surfaces well though.

....orrr... do a motor swap, the easier fix.

the place where the hose meets metal is fine, just the metal touchin metal is leakin a bit...if theres a gasket...then sure id replace it, but gotta wait till monday :thumbdown:

There is no gasket or o-ring in that location. You will obviously have to drain some of the coolant to remove it. Just clean out the groove on the underside of the top piece as well as the other mating surface. Apply RTV, refill the coolant and you're set.

X2. No gasket. A bit of scraping, and a new bead of FIPG and you'll be good to go.
