Default Coolant Leak from Overflow

2002 Landrover Disco 2
Im getting coolant pouring out of the connection to the overflow. Thoughts? Or if anyone has a thread on this already that would be great!

It looks like the coolant actually needs a top up. However I don’t think it would be wise to top it up with this leak. It’s a very heavy leak. Car is running fine. Not overheating. It’s like the coolant from the engine isn’t even going into the reservoir, it’s just pouring out of the clamp. I tightened the clamp, no luck. I just noticed a slight crack in the coolant reservoir end fitting (where the tube attaches). I’ll replace the reservoir and see if it fixed the issue.

Looks to be the issue! I have a replacement reservoir which has the same crack. Ordering a new one hope it resolves it 👍🏼

Always start with the most simple, least expensive remedy.

I'd start with replacing the reservoir cap.
