Advice on Coolant Return Line

Hi Folks.
Just finished swapping my expansion tank, as that one was all warped...
During priming noticed a leak between return line and the expansion tank.
Connection feels a bit loose, and hose moves on the tank a bit.

I can order the new line, but it feels like an overkill. Any recommendations on how to handle this, or not bother and just order a replacement line?
Considering running some teflon tape, or sealant on the expansion tank for a tighter fit in the interest of time.

Thanks

Yeah, so after replacing the tank return line had to be replaced. Quick swap with an OEM line and problem solved!
