Unhappy Drip! Drip! Drip!

OH NO!!!! Hey guys I got a leak and it looks like its coming from the hose area of my radiator. Not the engine side of the hose but rather the front part of the connection. Does anyone have a suffestion on how to fix it? And to fix it and I have to take it to the shop how much should this repair cost? I don't want to take it to the shop because that money wa sment for my rims that are on order. Someone help me please!!!!

try tightening the clamp (or put a new clamp on) first, then take in for repairs.

Future reference, this is the performance (make it go faster) section. I believe you were looking for (click the text) Common Questions and Troubleshooting

Is it coming from the hose itself?

Or where the hose connects.. (if you can tell)- The hose itself wouldnt be hard to replace, but you may have to add coolant once the project is complete.. i dont think hoses are to expensive?

i would definately take the hose off and check for leaks and no they arent expensive at all, its an autozone fix.

come on even the radiator is an autozone special order fix. Which is just simply draining coolant, undoing a few bolts at the rad support at the bottom, removing the hoses, unbolting the fans, swap and swap.

Use a socket wrench to tighten the clamp
