Last pic is just close up of the cheesy snap ring on the t-connector. This is where the upper radiator hose connects. When I replaced my t-connector it started leaking a steady stream of coolant at this point (had been fine before I replaced it. I guess just the act of re-assembling caused the o-ring on the upper radiator hose to begin leaking) Back to Ford for a new upper hose because they didn't have any O-rings in stock.
Hope these pics helped. There are other threads on here that have pics of the coolant reservoir fitting leak and fix. I just ordered the repair kit on Amazon and will be doing that this weekend. Hopefully this will solve my issues for a while but I have very little faith in the t-conn assembly and I am sure it will fail again in the next couple years or so.
