Default question about this coolant hose

hey I'm getting a leak from this coolant hose right where the connector piece is, I don't see any hole or anything but it is leaking like small drips every second not sure why.

it was leaking right there in the middle where the piece holds each hose together


here's better picture the hose runs somewhere along to the radiator

There are o rings inside. You’d have to take them out and match it up. Ace hardware might have one? In a last ditch effort, I’ve also used some rtv on the o rings and let it dry overnight. Don’t be surprised if you’re taking that apart and it breaks. After all, it is old plastic.

That is the coolant bleed pipe coming off of the intercooler radiator and going to the expansion tank.

Push (could be quite hard) the U-shaped plastic piece in then you can separate the connector.

No, the o-ring for the in-line connector is shown on this diagram:

CORRECTION: The shown #19 o-ring is at the expansion tank, not at the in-line connector. The inline connector is not shown on the above diagram but it is where the break is shown in the pipe #18. The 0-ring for the in-line connector may be different size than #19, not clear as it is not shown. Perhaps you can check with the supplier whether #19 can be used in the in-line connector. Take note that there are 2 o-rings in each of these connectors.

o so there's a total of 4 rings, 2 on each side ?
