Weird damn leak

the HAAS has been leaking fluid like forever. I know people have crawled under it looking for the culprit. well look at what I spotted: Norteast corner seam. It kind of depends on the angle of the coolant sprayed by the flexible hose for a short bit. But once it hits that sweet spot it was all over the place. There are some screws that hold the galvanized together which tightening might help. If not - anyone got any ideas?

Try to locate the leak path on the inside first. If find that, clean the metal, let it dry and apply something like JB Weld and push it into the leak area, feather it out. when hardened, apply a light layer of silicon around the edge to further seal it.

This of course would be if @TBJK can’t roll the TIG over crawl in and permanently “fix it”.

Ah, JB Weld. as good a fix as duct tape.

Well, lets fix it right.
