noticed this morning coolant leaking out of head, at the 2nd pipe from the firewall.
sorry about the photo quality

has anyone seen this before, or know how / why it is leaking from here?

the pipe comes from the radiator top hose, which has a junction feeding 6 lines to the head.

So it has had the aftermarket cooling put through the head...not sure what method is used to fit the pipes into the head. Are they threaded and tapped into the head? Maybe just leaking around the thread? Are they braised in?
