Weeping Housing, help!!

[Graham]

Hi Guys, i have a tiny weep of coolant from the housing bolted onto the back of the block what the Heater matrix hose goes onto. (The worst one to do on the pipes change). What is in this housing?, is it just a bolt on adapter to hold the pipe to the block? or does it house something?. Is it an O-ring, or a paper gasket?. Im sorry its questions, questions, questions, but its annoying re-bleeding every 4 days and with all the gubbins above removed wont be too bad to do hopefully, i just dont want to go in blind.
Any help much appreciated

Graham its just an adapter to mount the hose, nothing in there at all. On my 7A its a metal pipe, and on the ABY its a plastic part, fairly sure it just uses a rubber o-ring to seal it and one small bolt to hold it in place.

yup, it's an O ring in there and one M6 bolt holding it in place. Not an easy part to get at!!

Cool, i might just take it off and make a new one at work from St/St, or if it just needs an o-ring fit a new one.
Cheers, i owe you a Pale ale (Coopers)
