Angry HELP Zetec swapped MK4 Escort coolant leak

Hi all,

I've got a coolant leak on my Zetec swapped MK4 Escort.
It started with a leaking radiator, which I replaced. After that several hoses started to leak so I replaced everything.
It kept leaking and it turned out that the head gasket was blown. I've just replaced it but 1 coolant hose is still leaking.
It's the bottom hose from the radiator to the waterpump. Theres a T-joint in between the 2 hoses, it leaks on one side of the T-joint.
I've tried to fit a Mondeo hose (waterpump side) combined with a Escort hose (radiator side) but this was leaking aswell.
Other swapped Escort topics did not cover the use of this hose other than "combine the Escort and the Zetec hose", which did not work in my case.
Is there a certain way to make this work?
I'm running out of ideas. Could someone please help me solve this?
Many thanks in advance.

Kind regards,

Corné

It leaks at the radiator hose side, where the white line sits.
