Upper Oil cooler hose leak at connection
Hi Guys
This is my first Land Rover and I was hoping I could find some help. Ive searched this forum and have found other oil cooler hose leak threads but none that have the same leak that I'm having a problem with.
I have a 2000 Land Rover discovery II. My upper oil cooler hose was leaking so I bought a new one. The problem that I am having is that where the hose connects to the rad it leaks. I have added a picture of where the leak is coming from. Please help. If you require more pictures Ill take more.Thank you for your time in reading my question.
Ive added more pictures, I got the new hose and I still cant get it to stop leaking when I try to clamp the connection to the hose. Is there any type of tool that can aid in getting that to connect better. I always seem to think I get it to "click" into position but it always leaks. Any suggestions? Thank you.

Make sure that it "snaps" when you put it on. When I replaced my radiator, I.didn't snap it in hard enough and it came off in the parking lot of CVS. Now there is a big patch in the parking lot where the tranny fluid ate through. If you think you got it connected, you didn't. You will know when it snaps in.

See attached. The shop manual page does not mention O rings (usually where O rings are found the manual says throw them out and replace with new). The oil cooler was actually discontinued after a certain VIN (Engine oil cooler Only applicable to vehicles up to VIN 756821)

Thanks guys for the advice. It was a new part and had warranty, so they are sending me a new one next week. Im hoping that it was just a bad part.
So is there an O ring that goes in there or not? Once the new part comes Ill check to see if it connects better and try prying the metal tabs out like you suggested Snafu. Thanks
