Let'* add a note here.
If you look at your car and the nipple is plastic...do the preventative maintenance and have it changed out. It'* well worth not paying for the towing. (mine went 22 hours after purchasing the car...95)
Now..on the plastic elbow. I think it was cheaper for me to pick up the elbow at my local dealer. They stock them and it'* a quick thing to get. I'm heard of them seeping ..but never giving out yet.
