Coolant leak... again

So, a year ago, and 50,000 km ago (I am almost as shocked as you), I had my 2013 F150 5.0L in for a coolant leak. It was quite minor. They had to replace a T connector. They did, and I paid for it as it was not under warrantee.

Today, I smell coolant, and the engine bay was steaming. I was able to get it home. There is still some coolant in the engine. The Temp gauges were where they should be.

It looks like the leak is the same thing.

Is this a common thing to go?
I am in Canada. Does anyone know if this is under warrantee, or am I shelling out another $200?

I will be dropping it off at the dealer tomorrow, and hopefully they can fix it sooner, rather than later.

... and of course, this had to happen right at Christmas.

It's likely just an O ring that needs to be replaced. 3 bucks for mine a couple weeks ago, and about 30 minutes of my time in the driveway. These 5.0 engines are easy to work on.

I think mine is leaking where the upper radiator hose connects to the y. Where do I get a new o ring? Or more importantly, what do I get? Napa didn't have anything.

OP here.

Turns out it was the water pump. The bearing was shot.
