My expansion can was just as bad as yours so I got a complete new one made from Stainless Steel as hopefully I'll never have to remove it again. I'll try and take a closer look tomorrow as I fancy that there is a copper pipe there???

Friends , from what i have seen in my Carrier : 1/2 inch Rubber hose from the spout out of the thermostat for about 12*inches or so . Then there is a small bracket and adapter / fitting . From the adapter connects a copper / steel tube about 3/8 inches diameter hard to say because it’s snuggled between the division wall , the radiator and the shroud . I saw the pipe go down quite a ways towards the bottom . it was cut off and spilling fluid on the floor in summer . So what i need to know now is : rubber hose or metal tubing to the condenser can from there ?

The parts manual states there is hose and pipe( tube assembly ) for the overflow system.

Robert, I've just been poking around in mine with a torch and flash camera.

In the corner of the radiator housing is a special brass elbow bolted to the division plate. Then a straight length of 5/16" copper pipe which bends round to meet the expansion can fitting (1/4 BSP). Ron

Thanks a lot Ron . Clear as mud now . While we are in that area of the Carrier , what is that bracket i circled used for other than holding the seat ? Why is there a hole drilled into it ?

There is a corresponding hole in the seat bracket that rests there. I guess to bolt them together to stop the seat bouncing and rattling over rough ground.
