Default Leakage 4-way valve cooling system AJ6 3.0 V6

Hi, I have a leakage on my cooling system (please take a look at the pics below).
Does anybody know, where to find a spare part? SNG barret doesn't have it posted in their catalogue. It's not the thermostat.

If your car has the 3 litre NA V6 like my car, then the leak you have identified is on the water rail at the back of the radiator, in the same place mine started. You need to get this replaced asap, and not use the car while waiting, as that connection can let go at any time and you'll lose all the coolant and possibly the engine with it. On my car, I took it in for a leak there, (much smaller than yours), and had to leave the car at the shop until the part came in. So it was back home on the bus !! I find it puzzling you can't find this part, as it will no doubt be the same as the one on the S-type V6, but do check ! You may have to go to a Jaguar main agent for it, and it will not be cheap, but it's cheaper than a replacement engine. In my case the header tank also needed replacing as the nipple on the tank where the other end of that hose connect was half split and leaking. It eventually will split all the way round, but you'd have got a "low coolant" message well before that. Presumably you did have a Low Coolant alarm that caused you to look for a leak, correct ?

I got it:

It's the part C2C3500. The best thing is: It is just around the corner (30 km) from my home:

Thanks for your support!
