Default Fix one problem heres another... Heater Hose Fitting Leaking o.O

Well I got it running.. took it for a run around the block and to get the water moving so I could make sure its full... and I find its leaking water.

There may be more then one leak I have not been able to get under it yet however I found some water on top of my new opti.... and on the water pump.... and I noticed the top heater hose metal fitting is loose I can move it with my hand.



What in the world? How could I fix that... I really do not want to pull it all apart again to replace the water pump... please tell me there is something I can do...

Hmm seems one hose may have been loose on that same line but I still thought it odd that it moved like that.

Anyway I tightened it down I will try it tomorrow its getting dark out and I am late to a party.
