Default Coolant problems

hey all,

My wagon has started leaking a good amount of coolant. Last week I opened the hood after running the car for 30 minutes to see coolant spraying out of the gap circled in red, but the rest of the time there seems to be a slow drip.

Anyone have a quick fix for this/know what part I'd be looking to replace?

Thanks!

You might want to consider replacing the expansion tank and cap also - from my research they can fail with time, and since you're in there you can do it all at once. Good luck with the repair.

Careful pulling apart those connectors with the metal clips. Even with the clips in the unlocked position, I had a heck of a time separating the hoses.
