That certainly looks like it will be no fun to change. Have fun.

The Corvette has a three way hose leaking too!? Jackpot for you.

Heh - no, funny guy.
In fact, coolant is one of the few fluids the Corvette does not leak on a regular basis. Oil, power steering fluid, and ATF, yup.

This is my day today. Shit... Really did not want to have to deal with this over the 4th. Having towed to my Indy - he can look at it on Friday - hopefully parts are readily available as this is my daily driver until August. Shit... Dripping, even with the engine running, but it must have puked out a good amount earlier. The expansion tank looks good anyway. Hopefully just a hose and not the tank. Shit...

Maybe just a hose or something easy...looks too far to the right to be a gimme like the tank or cap.
Good luck...

My guess is the water pump.

Yeah, that's what I was guessing based on the location...here's to hoping it turns out to be something inexpensive and easy!
