GTP Anti-Freeze Leak

I have a 2000 Supercharged GTP, with an anti-freeze leak directly under my supercharger. The leak is coming from an L Shaped Plastic Tube. The tube goes from the intake to the alternator bracket. I am pretty sure that on O-ring would fix the problem, but am unsure. If an O-ring would fix, does anyone know the part number. If an O-ring will not fix it, can anyone give me some help i.e. what parts I would need to purchase and take off to fix it. My engine isn't running hot or knocking, I check it everyday. Thanks for any help :banghead:

The plastic elbow is for the coolant bypass system and it goes to the tensioner assembly not the alternator bracket. There are two o-rings on the elbow but better to replace the elbow which should come with the two o-rings.

The problem is there is a second one that goes from the tensioner assembly to the water pump. Since you have to remove the tensioner to replace either elbow good chance one of them will break during removal.

We have a procedure at our Tips & Maintenance subforum that has the GM/Delco part numbers.

Is it me or do these cars leak coolant a lot? I've had my GTP for going on 5 years now and I swear a new leak springs up somewhere new every year! :shakehead
