Weaping bottom radiator hose
Hey everyone.

Ive got a Bottom radiator hose which is weaping slightly on when under pressure where it meets the water pump. the hose appears to be in good condition otherwise. Replace the hose? Take off and clean up? Or other options.

Cheers

Paul

Are you sure it is the hose and not the pump? There are several O-rings in there which can start leaking. It is often hard to trace except for taking it apart.

Hey thanks for responses,

How can check if its a blokage? I hope its not the waterpump (not sure if Ive got the skill to rebuild), it does not appear to be leaking from there.

Ill order some hoses today and replace.

thanks
