Ok, thanks for the heads up because you made me go look at my issue again. I thought it was just a pin hole leak at the bottom of the hose elbow, but I'm in the same boat as you all. I just ordered my Pegasus kit 👍

I have this issue as well. In my research, stumbled on someone who took a plumbing approach and teflon taped the male end of coolant resovoir and all other male ends at other quick connect sites. Claims he has put over 100k miles on it without any leaks. Cost $.79. I'm considering this, and if it doesn't work ordering pegasus as I'm not convinced the fomoco replacement parts will be a long term solution.

Just installed the pegasus kit. So far so good. Boiling water helped soften the hose to get it around the nipple. took a bit of time muscling it on there though. Such a stupid design with the quick disconnect.
