Coolant leak

I was curious, have any of you guys experienced a coolant leak from this spot on the surge tank? It looks like it is coming from the plastic piece on the bottom, but I am not sure if this is something I should worry about.

Any coolant leak is bad, don't give up till it fixed. Your coolant is your insurance.

I had a leak from the plastic T piece at the bottom of the surge tank. Had to get it fixed...replacement tank has a much stronger piece at that point.

I had a leak on that tank too...ended up being a small crack on the side of the tank. You should definitely address it though having to pull over because your car is overheating is no fun

Replace the tank. Less than $100. They will all leak eventually.
