Coolant leaking on clipped connection to thermostat housing.

In the middle of installing a supercharger on a 2012. I noticed if you wiggle the "T" that connects the upper radiator hose, thermostat housing(I think), and neck on engine, it will leak(slow drip as I move it) where the T connects to the thermostats housing. Looks like there is some sort of metal clip that keeps them connected, and it appears to be in place.

I'm going to assume that isn't normal...Anyone had any input on what the problem could be? I'm not familiar with this setup.

Thanks.

There should never be a leak.

Well yeah :p

After getting some time to research it last night, it looks like the F150s have issues with the coolant T leaking from various spots. Oddly I don't see any information on Mustangs having the same issue. It doesn't look like the O-rings are serviceable on it, and I have to replace the entire T. :wtf2:

I'll check with a Ford parts department to verify, unless someone has some advice on it sooner.
