    Default Coolant leaking from 90degree fitting on heat exchanger

    It a 2015 moomba mondo. Closed cooling system. I had this issue last spring tightened up hose clamp. And this seemed to solve my issues for last summer. It has now say again over winter and is leaking again. It appears to.be leaking around threads. Is anyone else having this issue???. I have talked to indmar and they said in some cases they are replacing with brass fittings instead of plastic.

    Have you removed the fitting and wrapped it with Teflon tape or Teflon paste that is safe for plastic?

    I have bought the adaptor to screw onto the overflow tank from snap-on truck. Will hook up my radpressure tester and see where leak is coming forsure before I take anything apart. And if I do have to take apart might put brass fittings in its place.
