Pull the remains of the hose with the pliers while simultaneously pressing the copper fitting (the one that looks like small "fins") inwards with another pair of pliers.

Is olly-Ibiza correct is this return pipe if yes could I soften the remainder pipe with hot water then use a pipe clamp to refit the pipe to insert sticking out of bolt fitting in my photo |

If it looks like this, the fitting is toast anyway, so you can destroy it and rip the thing out. Then put everything together, drive to a hardware store, get a new copper fitting (don't worry - the car will exhaust the overpressuriezed air VERY loud, but no harm will be done) and once you have the fitting, you can put it quite comfortably into the compressor already on the vehicle and refit the hose. Make sure you put it firmly inside (about 2.5 cm of hose must go into the fitting) Regards etc.,

Seems like a major leak to me. Seen this happening in a car I didn't end up buying when a front airbag was leaking from sitting too long in access position.

If a air bag was leaking wouldn't the car lower when left parked |

It's very much possible but not 100% obvious.

While working on car rear end was up on ramps I had the car running for quite a while when testing it and checking for leaks
