Update:
Well some of you know that this didn't fix the problem. It was worst than just the bleeder screw. The tank had a tiny hole in it and was leaking also. So I got the new tank today took 10 min to swap but now the hoses' quick clip do not fit anymore ....they are loose. Is this normal? Dealer tells me that new hoses will fix the problem.... True?

The hoses do tend to "mold themselves" to the tank after so many years, they are plastic connections too. I'd do the hoses as well, as when they are disconnected they tend not to fit on new parts so well.
Which is why many of us tend to do our cooling systems in waves as a whole i guess

Thx Rick... I've ordered all the hoses ...
Whats the trick to remove the one that goes behind the air intake? Hose #7 in diagram.  Dealer will exchange #1 hose (175$) for free as it has been changed 1 month ago. They didn't have to as it's not the tube that is faulty but the quick connect that needs to be changed because of the new expansion tank.

For #7 that looks like a high pressure hard hose, should be a quick connect fitting I think similar to the air lines on the air springs. Don't quote me though as it's different from my 3.0
