Leak

[mmt 15]

Hi guys

 

Original cooling hose on gti6 is leaking. slowly dripping away when engine is turned off. Nothing when running. Will a bit of RTV on the rubber sealing ring do the trick? 
 

any ideas are welcome 

 

thanks

which hose?

Top hose from thermostat house to top of radiator.

shouldn't need any sealant, if its a push over and Jubilee clip joint then disassemble and clean, reassemble with a fresh clip if required. 

 

or if its a O ring on a metal spigot secured by a wire clip,  fit a new seal.
