Slow coolant loss on V8

I have the same problem but I have 05 with a v6. Will the Oriley y pipe work for my truck? What other parts I need to buy?

Can I buy the entire hose part setup from a part store instead of Ford?
 






I want to thank everyone for the content in this thread.
I’m new and just created my account and purchased an 07 explorer knowing there was a leak but didn’t locate it immediately. The one in this thread was one another was the overflow bottle. I was able to purchase replacement part from Dorman with an updated Y fitting in metal ($75 Amazon). Also I was glad to not have to get under the rig in Order to replace this.

If you have patience and time I have added pictures of what I start on this morning and will finish this afternoon.

So the Dorman part worked for the most part, the lower hose that leads to the rear, it’s clamp was too big. I ended up using the original hose clamp and it has been holding for my test engine run. About to put the fender well together and tire then take it for a test spin.
