Mick Flack replaced mine a couple of years ago as I was having the same problems. If you do it yourself always buy a few extra clips as they are tricky little and when they ping off they are gone forever The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything;
They just make the best of everything they have.

Plus 1 ref those clips
Forget who’s idea it was but I now tie a bit of Cotten around the clips before fully removing them, got fed up keep having to buy replacements
Also reminds me of the cillet bang advert , ping and there gone

So you're saying it's more likely to be a leak from this?

That's where mine leaked from, another mention regarding the clips, they're absolute sods Mark

That’s the one - the clips are tiny bits of devil pube that will ping off into the darkest recesses of the engine bay if you are not careful! Cotton is a great idea or a really strong magnetic probe near when you remove might helpMust stop buying shiny toys....

Hiya
another one that I’ve tried is using small fishing hook locking pliers, work a treat As used a Dremel to cut a slight groove near the end to hold the clip
Also seen on ebay can get angled or extra long pliers
