Hello

I suspect I might have a coolant leak from the 3 way connector below the expansion tank as there is a pink trace from antifreeze. However, It could be that the worm drive clip on the small diameter tube needs tightening and I'll do that tomorrow.

I did notice, on a thread I cannot find, that someone has replaced this three way joint with a normal copper plumbing fitting, which seems a sensible option. Does anyone know the internal bore of the hoses, before I take it apart? It looks like 25mm straight through and 8mm for the small "T" offset.

Thanks for reading - pic attached.
