For what is worth, I had a coolant pipe leak (bottom of radiator) after about 3 months of owning mine (which would have been Autumn 2018 - as the temperatures were dropping after a mad summer). I panicked.
As a 'temporary measure', I tightened the jubilee clip and was ready to declare an emergency, but it has held up ever since.
I can't help on the different pipe material question, but I'd just tighten it a bit and 'see how it goes'.
Carry a screwdriver with you just in case (I do), but I wouldn't worry too much at this point [mention]K20A2[/mention]
Of course, a flooded garage floor is a different matter ;-)
