Re: Coolant weep coming from radiator 2003

LH side is the engine oil cooler. RH side is the transmission.
If it's a coolant leak and not oil from that cooler pipe fitting the radiator is knackered.

Those are called Jiffy Tite fittings. They have an o-ring inside that eventually gets flat and weeps.
Replacement fittings come with new o-rings and brandy new strange bendy spring clips.
I don't re-use the fittings or bendy spring clips if they rusty or are of unknown age or more than a few years old.

Lisle sells a four piece set of release tools for these. They're darn nice to have.
This is how the fitting works.
