Coolant Leak?

[Balto]

Was checking my oil filter for any leaks and noticed a hose that seems to be leaking. The hose has "PA66-GF30" on it but when I search for that it only brings up Dico stuff? Below are a couple of pictures. One with me wiping it with a towel and then one thats a few seconds latter starting to leak again. Its almost like the hose is starting to burst? or it got sliced somehow?

Anyone help me on what this hose is and how serious it is to get it fixed/replaced ASAP?

Yours has the SCV6? Might be this: https://parts.landroverparamus.com/oem-parts/land-rover-upper-hose-lr050854

Yes sorry...2015 SCV6

Yup I think your correct and here is a picture I "Believe" is the leak location. When looking at the hose it seems like JUST this small portion can be replaced instead of the entire assembly. Thoughts?

I don't know that they sell just the plastic part, or are you suggesting you buy the whole thing, and swap just the plastic part in? Either way you're going to need to bleed the system, and I would prefer to get all the fresh hoses in there since you'll have them on hand. The little hoses go to the 'intercooler' bits in the supercharger, shouldn't be that hard to access since it's top of motor.

Also, I think that hose connects to the front crossover, so maybe worth getting that done if you haven't already?

Yup got all of that replaced about a year ago. Sad to see that part start leaking already errrr

Just wanted to add that I also had the exact same coolant pipe failure, where a plastic pipe fails and leaks at the seam/glue joint. (back and front crossover pipes with pump, thermostat and other cooling hoses done about 3 years ago).
Last year I started to have some mysterious occasional coolant leaks, and few days ago got a "Coolant level low" message. Topped up coolant (Zerex G30), added some UV dye, warmed up the engine and the leak was very straightforward to find (could do without a UV dye...)

I found there are just plastic cross connectors sold on amazon/ebay: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=LR050854 for pretty cheap, <$20. Interestingly there are some aftermarket connectors that seem to be monolithic instead of glued design (probably would help to avoid same problem as with old crossover pipes which failed at seams/glued joints)
But I think I will replace the whole assembly and do a full coolant flush. Getting paranoid with these leaky parts...
