Hi Paul,
If our coolant leak is in the back, it is probably coming form a coolant passage that connects two halves of the engine. It bolts to the back of the left and right head. There is a replaceable gasket between the coolant passage way and the head. If your leak is from the little "T" in the center of this passage, then it is likely the hose that leads the the cabin heater. It is not the water pump connector, the pump on Monty is in the front part of the engine by the timing belt. You should be able to get to those parts in the back if the engine is cold and you have small hands.
