coolant leaked

Post by jbarnish »

All of the coolant leaked out yesterday and it looks like maybe at the hose connection at the bottom of the radiator but its hard to see. Is this a common issue? If so, where to get a replacement hose? many thanks!!

Common, not really. A few different Vendors have hoses. One thought, make sure the lower hose isn't rubbing on the steering couple - wearing a hole in it. app.php/page-vendor-list

Might want to get familiar with the Tech Wiki-> Parts-> Parts Interchange where you can see the aftermarket hoses that fit, along with many other parts too.

If mine has leaked, it's always been there. Check the hose and make sure it's tight but otherwise it may need replacing.
