Title: Small coolant leak from hose?
Post by: Dk on May 08, 2019, 12:59:21 AM

I found a very small coolant leak happening from this hose pictured below.  The hose appears to be coming from the bottom of the fuel pump.  I find that hard to believe, but it's my orange coolant for sure.  I cannot find it identified in the manual which appears to be for a slightly different model.

Is it normal that I should have to refill my overflow reservoir every 3 weeks just to keep it from going down to E, when the coolant all seems to be dripping out of this hose?

Solved:  the leak actually came from the hose going from the radiator to the overflow jug.  It was the spring clamp that wasn't tight enough.  I found it by feel, noticing it was not hard to pull the hose out.  I replaced it with a screw-tightened Harbor Freight automotive clamp.  From now on I will never trust those OEM spring clamps after reassembling plumbing.
