I have a 2004 R50 base model. The fan continues to run after I turn it off. Engine is getting hot, needle pegs at the hot end after driving about 1/4 mile. Coolant is dripping from the coolant hose connector that’s attached between a couple hoses, circled in attached photos. I’m told that really only matters for the heater, and maybe it’s just some kind of vent? Appreciate any help of what could be going on. I did replace the thermostat but did not fix the problem.
