Recorded this video just now. In the middle of doing an intake manifold replacement and carbon cleaning. Found a coolant leak by using a leak tester from harbor freight around 15 PSI. I knew the leak was coming from near the water pump but nothing around the water pump seemed to show evidence only on the hose and bottom of the hoses. With a little persuasion or movement on the hose I got the coolant spurt out as shown in the video. I've never had one of these apart but the dealer replaced this under recall around 30,000 miles I currently have 93,000 miles. that connection seems awfully loose to me but I don't have a lot of experience with that. I remove the c clip and try to push on further but it appears to be seated fully. Any thoughts on what to do if anything? I wasn't sure of the normal operating pressure so maybe at a slightly higher pressure it would seal better. However there's definite evidence of leaking over time and I'm just slightly below the low line but I've never had the coolant low come on. Appreciate in advance any help or advice.
