Hello Blind One

.

Your coolant system keeps bursting I bet because you are running 13+ year old stocker hose clamps.

You're going to want to upgrade those.

Now the leak. Really need you to find where it's coming from.
So, it sounds like you're speaking of that bastard hose that is in the way of pulling the starter. It goes into the bottom of the block. I'm not sure if this hose goes into the fire wall without looking at my car.

However. You are going to need to go ahead and keep checking all of your coolant and or rubber hoses. If they are hard. You need to trim them back. If you can't trim them. Replace them.

There are some places that you can scuff the male connect with sandpaper, just mildly. This provides extra grip. For when you replace the clamps as well.

We hopes it's a hose that your leak is coming from.
Not the head/block area.

Also. I just thought to myself. Inspect your radiator cap for wear. If it's crusty. Replace it.

Pick up a 2nd gig. Start pimping hoes. You're about to invest into your cars future. For some time to come.
