Hey guys..I have had a leak in my radiator for a while now and I cant figure out whats going on..Can a radiator become so clogged that the pressure within forces it to leak from the big hose coming out of the top (out from under a well tightened adjustable clamp)? I have a leak which seems to be coming from underneath the clamp that holds the big hose on the top of the radiator. I dont understand it..The hose is less than a year old and when it started leaking it had one of those crappy factory clamps that you have to pinch with channel locks to get it off. So i figured maybe that clamp wasnt exerting the proper amount of holding pressure so i went to Napa and got one of those clamps with the screw on it and tightened that bitch as much as i could. Before i put the hose back on i fingered the inside of the spout which the hose connects to and thouroughly examined the outside and inside for cracks and found none. Seemed to be pretty sturdy to me. So its leaking..Pretty bad, I put more coolant in and the low coolant light comes on in an hour. So at this point I dont know what the heck the problem is. Can anyone help me??
Thanks..
Kris
