Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Went to the garage today - saw a spot of coolant on the floor - under rear right of car. There was a drop of coolant where the small J shaped hose connects to the black plastic pipe at the right rear of car. Maybe weak spring clip ? I moved clip a bit with plyers - hose itself seems to be OK - Coolant level was fine. Took car for a 10 mile run - temp was normal (180F) - no sign of leak at end of run. Should I be OK - or should I replace hose / clips ? (Which I assume means drain/fill coolant). Anyone had experience with that kind of leak ? Thanks

POST 2Original post

Any pics? I don't recall any plastic coolant pipe. There are rubber and metal lines.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Yeah - maybe it is black metal pipe - I will try and post pic tomorrow ...

POST 4Original post

You can use this pic here if it helps https://rennlist.com/forums/attachme...83-medium-.jpg

POST 5Original post

You could try a jubilee clip next to the spring clip right before the rubber. That may cure it. If not then I would check further for the exact source of the drip. No problem unless the reservoir gets low. Keep your eye there for a while.

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Here is pic of where coolant was dripping - after I moved the clip - no leak today either. Maybe I will put a second clip at the end of the hose per Hurdi's advice - can't hurt ..

POST 7Original post

When it comes to coolant leak, my rule is if it's leaking, just replace it. The reason is those hoses/clamps are 10+ yrs old now and they can go soft, have cracks, etc. Basically ticking bombs. You don't want them to fail at the most inconvenient time and place and get you stranded. That short hose and two hose clamps are not expensive at all and they are very easy to get to being at the rear most. It's a no brainer to me to replace them.
