COOLANT LEAK!

I found this during the weekend, coolant dripping from one of the coolant hoses. See images.
I cleaned it up from the transmission section and nothing dripped so far. Will check later tonight once I get home from work.

Anyone experienced this? did you replace the entire hose?
I had the firewall hose replaced but now it's leaking from this end.

Always something going on with GTI's lol.... need me a Toyota/Lexus ASAP.

Why is it orange?
lol it looks Red to me 🤣 I don't know why it's Red/Orange.... it looks like coolant to me. Hopefully there's no oil mixed in the coolant....

My buddies GTI (Mk7) is getting his GTI's engine replaced because oil mixed into his coolant res tank.
The oil cooler leaking oil and he never noticed until it was too late (oil mixed into his coolant tank).

Apparently this happens in MK7's not MK6's...

G13 eventually turns orange if you don't flush it for long enough...

HVAC hose replaced. I will Continue to monitor to ensure no more coolant leak loss occurs. Not even 1 tiny bit of coolant drop. Nope. Not happening.
