and its the hose all the way on the bottom

- Tue Apr 28, 2009 9:20 pm #113749 It could be out of round, That happened to me and i just got the screw type hose clamps and put 2 of those bitches on. No more leak

- Tue Apr 28, 2009 9:23 pm #113752 just change the damn hose. you want that thing shittin out goin down the highway?? if its on tight and its leaking...... change it.

- Tue Apr 28, 2009 9:46 pm #113761 Changing it would be the best option, However, If its not the hose and its the outlet/ inlet being out of round, a second hose clamp will suffice. Or you could round it back out with like something circular.

yea everyone that looks at it tells me to use those screw clamps that tighten when you tighten the screw

everything is fine it just that it still leaks when the hose is on

sometime the clamps 'bite' through the hose and make it leak

- Fri Jun 26, 2009 5:31 pm #126129 Could be one the part where the hose clamps onto the radiator is cracked. I know mine was when I got it home from the buyer.

But yeah easiest thing and safest is to change it. Drain the coolant, take old hose off, put new one on. Should take only 10 mins. Just make sure coolant is cool (car should be off for at least 2-3 hours).

- Sun Jun 28, 2009 11:59 pm #126528 yea i fixed it a while back but what happened was where the clamp squeezes onto the hose it bit through and it leaked through there so i cut that part off and reconnected it
