"Splitting and dumping coolant down the back" - pretty much what's happening. I was driving about 40 miles a day an losing about 12 oz a day.

And, indeed, I did start a separate thread to see if anyone knew of a cheaper workaround and whether the price is outrageous, as I needed to make a decision quick.
I always get good intel here-- in the end, and based on what I learned, I opted to go ahead with having them do it. My thinking is that it's beyond the scope of what I can do, and while the price is high, it's not "outrageous" high, and I really trust the mechanics there, they've taken care of the car for the past six years and have gotten me to 100,000 miles with the car. Plus it was already there, and my job is "cutting the line" by about a week, 10 days. The wait for good Jag service is insane these days. It should be done end of the day tomorrow.
Of course, I'll post the detailed invoice.
Thanks, as always.

Same part in my 2015 Disco and unlike the front crossover pipe, the new 2020 replacement part from JLR’s still a vulcanized part which means at some point it will begin leaking again when the seam inevitably fails.

Nobody in their right mind would specifiy that shape in plastic.

INT. JLR ENGINEERING LABS - DAY
A group of junior design engineers sit, quiet and nervous, as the Senior Engineer inspects their Frankenstein creation. Finally....
SENIOR ENGINEER: Good... but not good enough! How can we make this vital part even more of a trainwreck? Anyone? Your internships are being funded by repair costs-- your very futures are on the line here....
JUNIOR ENGINEER 1 (raising his hand): ...hide it?
JUNIOR ENGINEER 2: Yeah!! Bury that thing!
JUNIOR ENGINEER 3: UNDERNEATH AND BEHIND THE SUPERCHARGER!
ENGINEERING LEADER (smiles) Well done, young sirs. Well done indeed. Your futures at JLR are secured.
