My AUQ seems to have developed gradual coolant loss and I see pink residue from on the oil filter housing.
I'm hoping a wiggle an re-seat of the nearby hoses will be enough to resolve.

Anyone else had a leak in this area and what was your resolution?

Thanks

looks like the spring clamp has failed (circled in pic), a new one or a jubilee clip will probably be enough although you'll lose a bit of coolant replacing it.

Thanks so much ExiledWeegie, I hadn't spotted that break in the clip but plain as day now you've pointed it out (y)
The one toward the bottom of the pic is pretty rusty too so perhaps its worth changing one at the same time.

good spot that.. clean break also odd that, i had a metal bracket in the engine bay that broke with a clean break years ago and it was pretty thick gauge

I'm struggling to find a part number or size of the replacement spring clip - can anyone point me toward a suitable resource ?
(I've used 7zap in the past but they seem to have hidden the diagrams behind a pay wall)
 
I think its these ones for the coolant hoses on the oil cooler.

try LLLParts for the diagrams and part numbers
