So what i did, was the following:

Open the coolant reservoir lid and leave it off.

Wait till car cools down so theres no pressure on the hoses.

Then you want to clean up the area until its fully dry.

then you wanna sand out the area till is nice and rough.

You want to get the red and black JB weld, throw some in there, wait 24 hours to dry and youre good to go! I have had it like this for about 4k miles now. still holding strong.

end result:
Sorry to bump the thread, but did you drain your coolant? Coolant is seeping from that area even when it’s cold. Not sure it’s gonna dry and can’t really jb weld if it remains wet.
