Water Leak Fitting Type Help
I know this is talked about and probably covered somewhere on here, but forgive me, I couldn't find this specific question.
Like everyone at some point, my 2022 Geo Pro 19FBS finally has its first water leak. It's very minor, but we don't want it to get worse.
My question is about this specific compression fitting on the hot side of the hot water heater bypass valve. I've seen the pex all over, but this one hose (presume its there due to the more than 90 degree curve) isn't pex and uses a different type of fitting.
I'm posting two pictures, one up close and you can see the fitting and the small leak of antifreeze, as well as a farther away shot.
Can someone shed some light on how to proceed? Do I cut it and use a hose clamp? Should I try and replace the plastic valve while I'm at it?
Thanks!
