Re: Radiator head tube
Held in place by a Allen key bolt . Remove this and it lifts out but it’s usually pretty tight.
There is an O ring on the pipe and 99% sure that’s where your leak is Ken.
Tension the bolt back to spec too Ken as the last thing you want to do is snap this one off in the head.

Be mindful Glycol used in coolants is an alcohol based product and will more than likely react with normal rubber O rings.
