Just under the upper radiator hose there is a connection where the coolant lines screw into. It has a flange fitiing of sorts that the coolant lines screw into. It is leaking there. The locking flange is only finger tight. Do I tighten the flange to stop the leak. Seems like a mighty "frail" fitting for this application. Also, there seems to be no gasket.

Thanks

I have the exact same leak. Did you ever remedy this problem. And if so, would you mind sharing it with me. Thanks for your time. Bum454ss@charter.net
