L322 4.4 TDV8 Radiator Top Hose Connector Leak

Hi All.
I have been trying to locate the source of a coolant leak. While the system holds pressure I can smell a coolant leak after bringing the Rangey into the closed garage. Topping up about a cupful every couple of months.
Poking around with the borescope I can see evidence of a weep below the radiator top hose coupling to the front of the engine as per the attached photos.
Suspect there is a O ring within that is in need of replacement. Has anyone had experience with this?.
Thanks.

Yes, that is the thermostat housing. It's fiddly but there is just enough room to pull back the top hose and the other without removing the fan. You can buy the O rings for the hoses from eBay for not very much. Whether your leak is from the housing itself is not clear. 2012 Vogue TDV8 in Aintree green over sand
