Question 944S coolant leak, need some advice?

I was hoping someone could tell be about a problem I'm having with a '87 944S. There is a hose that comes into a 1 /1/2" thin walled pipe at the firewall end of the engine on top. The pipe seem to have come loose. It's doesn't have any threads and looks like it is a compression fit into a fiting on the engine. I can't find a reference to it and wanted to know if anyone could tell me about it and the best way to get it to seal so I'm not leaking coolant.

TIA,
Barry

Replace it. it is cheap. I had the same problem. It has 2 bolts that hold it on. Get the gasket too. Dealer only item. I think like 15 bucks.
