Hello All,Just recently purchased a 2003 xk8 with 21000 original miles.After getting inspected (passed) and drivind a few times,noticed a coolant leak
on passenger side under hood about eight inches forward the firewall.Leak comes from this black plastic coupler that connects to a metal pipe going to the front and a rubber hose that takes a y as it travels to the firewall.Can I just remove this coupler and clamp it off to the metal pipe,or does it serve a particular purpose? The assembly is just under the air intake hose,passenger side.Thanks in advance.Pics to follow soon.

The connector is there for quick connection on the assembly line. The problem is a simple 'O' ring but it is very difficult to release the connector to get to it.
