Need help

So I’ve got an old 2004 Lincoln LS V6 that I love dearly.

It has a coolant leak from the upper radiator hose T connector, but my problem is that I can’t find the part. At all. It is discontinued and doesn’t seem to exist anywhere. The V8 is still in production, but I asked around and apparently it won’t be compatible with the V6. I’m struggling to figure out what to do. I am aware that other parts available are from jaguar type s and the thunderbird, except I can’t find anything from those cars either. Nothing from eBay, or Facebook marketplace, nobody is parting these out. This car barely exists anymore, I’ve only ever seen 4-5 others out driving.

I’ve come to Reddit, which is something I rarely do, to see if someone might have some magical idea or fix for me.

If anyone has any advice or ideas and suggestions, I’m all ears.

Thanks.
