The connector that passes the heater hoses through the
firewall is not difficult to replace, is readily available
from the parts suppliers, and is not too expensive. I would
suggest replacing both the gasket and the metal connector.

611040 T46 GASKET, HOSE CONNECT., BULKH 1.130
611043 T46 CONNECTION, BULKHEAD, HOSES 13.340
Replacing them is a bit messy, however, as when the inside hoses
are disconnected, quite a bit of coolant will pour out onto
the right side floor. I would suggest putting a small drain
pan there to catch what falls out, unless you have your
carpets out completely.
