Hey guys, noticed a slight coolant leak from my bottom rad hose onto the radiator on the right hand side, has anyone got any fixes for this? It doesn't appear to have a hole in the hose, it kind of just weeps out.

I'll double check it this arvo to make sure its not something obvious.

I'd normally ask my old man to check it it out but he's been in hospital for the past 3 months after a big get off

The OEM hose clamps are shit, that could be your problem.

Turns out the OEM clamp has slightly cut thru the hose making it porous, so im up for a new hose. The previous owner changed most of the clamps over except this one.

great timing when tomorrow is going to be 30c and I have a four day weekend.

had the same, but could not spot where it was coming from, had sent rad away thinking it was that, turned out to be the same hose, changing it cured the prob, spent a year trying to find the prob
