I recieved a low coolant light on my '01 XKR Silverstone and began investigating where the leak was coming from.

I discovered it is coming from what appears to be a hose with a funny looking connector on it with what appears to be a plastic connector under the intake near the back firewall on the passenger side. It is leaking right above a heat shield and running down.

Anyone know what the hose is or how to disconnect that connector? It was getting late last night and I didn't want to get hasty, but I've never seen a coolant connector like that before. I'm more familiar with the older hose/clamp style, etc.

The hose appears to "Y" off and run along the back side of the firewall. If anyone on this forum has ever replaced this or knows what I'm up against, I would appreciate any advice given. Thanks!

I found a great thread on this already. Looks like I need a hose connector tool and the "octopus" hose commonly known as the heater hose assembly.

I think the supercharger has to come out for this job.

You might want to consider performing this TSB on the 11 year old supercharger ducts while you have it apart.
