Coolant Hose Leakage
My camera isn't working right now so I can't get a picture, but the coolant hose is leaking, you can see fluid all over the hose underneath it. It's leaking at the end furthest from the front bumper. Would this mean I need a new hose or clamp or what? Thanks for the help, I'll try to get pictures posted soon to give you a better idea.
I hope I need new hoses, I've been dying for an excuse to get some blue hoses smile.gif

It could be the hoses but you'll have to look closely to see where the leak is originating. My Tib is a 2000 with 192,000 km on it and I still have the original hoses. I did have to replace the radiator recently though and the original spring clamps are getting kind of weak so were replaced with hose clamps.
If you want to replace the hoses anyway you might as well do it now and use hose clamps instead of the original spring clamps.

the springs clamps suck big time go ahead and wrap the part of the hose you are trying to clamp with electrical tapethen get yourself some hose clamps( the ones that you screw together).the electrical tape is there so that when you are tightening the clamp, the clamp wont dig in and cut the hoses. works great
