93 3.4 coolant leak.

I'm not sure why, mabye because it's cold but I have a coolant leak coming from the quick disconnect pipe next to the thermostat housing. I'm guessing there's a o-ring inside. Is the o-ring "special" or can i get one from a o-ring kit? Also where could I get a replacement quick disconnect?

I think you can replace the whole inlet pipe if its the one I am thinking about

There's an o-ring that's nothing special. First Guess: corroded quick-connect.

 

For very little money, you could replace the entire unit. The replacements are every bit as bad as the originals in terms of cheap construction, but at least it's a fresh start.

thanks for the info. I just ended up replacing the entire unit with a dorman unit and it was only 6 bucks so we'll see how long this lasts.

I had to replace mine in the parking lot of an Advance Auto Parts (in the middle of the ghetto) on Thanksgiving day. I likely bought the same one you bought, and it's not leaked a drop since then.
