Mine did leak a little on the top hose. Just make sure there tight. and there's no crude around the fittings.
The aftermaket ones (Samco) are good, lighter and stronger.

Yeah,one of my rad hoses started to leak,...thankfully it was nowt more sinister than a loose hose clip.
Oh yeah,I think also I slightly overfilled it while I was checking and topping up all the fluids.:rolleyes:
