Post Photobucket Reboot from March 2011Topping up the radiator. I used some leak sealer last winter, and most of seemed to have collected. or stuck around this location. I was able to fish it out with my fingers and a rag.
Here it is back together. Much better clearance for the top clip.
This morning there were a few drips on my drip tray, so I ran the engine up to temp after tightening the clips another turn.
Having just rechecked - so far no drips, but time will tell.
Fingers crossed.
2017 Note. This finally solved the problem. Be aware though that in really cold weather, the metal pipe shrinks to the extent that a small leak may develop, so check it occasionally.
