if you scroll up you will see a picture of the pipe before install and the oring seals are red exact same I am the one who installed it I did not add any sealant that is the oring seals squeezed out probably because they are cheap aftermarket
What do you think will it start to leak?
I will ask the dealer if they sell just the 2 O-ring seals to the rear coolant manifold.

I have found few cases where this have been done in oil side causing major main bearing failure. in one of the case it was an extremely expensive italian hand made engine owner fixed himself...

In terms of leaking, the only way to know is to pressure test the system and see if they leak.

I remember when I installed pipe it did not look squeezed out like it does now must've happened during operation

FYI, I believe Clubairth1 in a different thread recommended using a factory seal and not what came with the rear manifold pipe. I wrote it down for future reference: Jaguar AJ811600 Seal. It is not an o-ring because the sealing surface is round on one side and flat on the opposite side.
Secondly, has anyone had experience with the one piece aluminum heater manifold pipe yet?

I was thinking about leaving it good thing I removed it to see what is going on
This is what can happen when you go aftermarket

Wow, that is just bizarre. What is suppose to be O-rings looks exactly like high temp silicone. I don't understand how so much of the O-rings oozed out past the tight fitting union and then coalesced on the outside to look exactly like silicone does when you assemble with it.
I won't be using those O-rings, that's for sure. I wonder if anyone else has noticed the same problem.

Ohh... These O-rings came with the part seems to have 2-3 times too large in diameter. Lucky you removed it and catch the remmands before they ended up in any of heat exchangers.
Measure the depht of the O-ring groove and add about 1/3th of the measured depth for new O-ring thikness. -> If the groove depth is 2mm use 3mm O-ring. (choose diameter about mid groove, so O-ring have bit space to expand when tightened on place) O-ring have to be type to withstand glygol and olis.

Those two o rings not real they were some kind of cheap rubber in the shape of o rings once heated up they melted
