2004 Turbo Water hose Leak from T-fitting

[Yagura6120]

Does somebody experienced Leak from water cooling hose T-fitting at back side of engine?
It is hard to access the parts.
Do I need to remove Aluminum cooling pipe at V bank? or should I lift or down engine from body? Hope it is not.

I removed the intake to get better access, was a bit of a pain.

Thank you for reply. I attached picture removed Manifold. I still don't see T-fitting which should be back side of engine as shown from someone's.
I think I need to remove Aluminum pipes but still not sure if I can get enough room to access it. Please suggest if any other or better way.

Thank you for the suggestion. it was very hard time but finally fixed T-Tube Leak by replacing new one. It was cracked.
I had to remove Aluminum tubes. So I could replace Thermostat as well.
Wire type tube clamp plier was really needed and cutting knife for skinning old remaining hose. And slim hands.
