Coolant hoses help please

Post by Nathan4 »

Hi there.
After finding a few stains on the drive I noticed the coolant was dropping irregularly and it was noticeable also in the bottom tray. After checking the hoses leading from the coolant tank I eventually found a hose with a pinprick leak that sprayed out ever so slightly under pressure. To test the theory I wrapped some plumbers tape around it to see if that was the culprit and it was, no leaks from anywhere else.

Can someone direct me to where I can find a replacement hose, either the single hose or else the whole lot as I guess they all are corroding at the same rate?
The hose is found in the pipework running from the bottom of the coolant tank, one piece runs straight from there to a t section, and my troublesome hose runs off that t section to the left. It looks like a long letter "C" pointing downwards with the bottom of it bent slightly towards the engine which then connects to a plastic "v" shaped connecter which is attached to the engine.

Its easy enough to access if I can just find the replacement.

Many thanks

Nathan
