This may seem like a simple question - I've replaced many coolant hoses over many years.
Usually they have fitted over an outlet and been secured by a jubilee clip or a hose clip
I've never seen one like this.
The hose disappears inside the housing.
There is a clip thingy on the outside of the housing.
I'm reluctant to go there until I know how it works.
Is the hose likely to be shot ?
How does it actually seal.
The rate of coolant loss is small
There is a small pool of coolant on the plastic housing underneath the joint.
It'll get worse !
Advice please.
