Coolant pipe leak

Morning folks. Had leaking coolant for some time. Spotted some leakage below the reservoir, which looks like the main culprit. Not sure if I need to replace the whole lower coolant pipe or simply add a new clip. Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated. Heading on a long trip soon and keen to get resolved asap. Cheers.

Those worm drive hose clips in your photo aren’t standard OEM equipment. I suspect a previous defect / modification that has been done badly.
With worm drive clips it’s possible to get too much compression on the relatively weak plastic joiners.
It needs attention as it won’t get better by itself.

Many thanks DXX. Yes, agree it looks messy! I'll try and get in there and inspect the pipe ends and source proper OEM clips. 👍
