I have an '11 Ecoboost that has a coolant leak @ the degas bottle outlet quick connect hose. Someone else replaced the o-ring it leaked, I tried a RTS-1078 it still leaks. FCA dos not list a seal separately that I can find. Is everyone  just replacing the hose BL3Z-18472-J (KH576) and does the degas bottle also need to be replaced? I couldn't find anything wrong with either one.

Finally fixed this truck....I thought it was fixed but it came back leaking again. The quick connect fitting adapter was cracked, it was easier to see the crack on my phone(I sometimes forget that trick)Looked almost like a scratch until I pressed around on it.

I've had two that came back leaking from the same connection. The first one came back the next day. The other one came back about 5000 kms later. Replacing the Degas bottle fixed both. Going forward, all will be getting a new bottle and hose.
