Re: Lower Radiator Hose Clamp Leak - Driving Me Crazy

Thanks so much. I believe I did have that clamp too far from the re-enforcing rib. There may be a crack in the outlet, but I sure can't see or feel one. I am amazed. I am still going to coat the...

Re: Lower Radiator Hose Clamp Leak - Driving Me Crazy

Check out the pic. This explains everything. I was able to pull this fold back out with pliers and got it close to round. It seems to be soft brass. Amazingly, I can’t see or feel any cracks. I...

Re: Lower Radiator Hose Clamp Leak - Driving Me Crazy

I did that after the last time I pulled the radiator. I think there has to be a little wrinkle or fold in the outlet pipe that will have to be fixed first. Thanks.

Re: Lower Radiator Hose Clamp Leak - Driving Me Crazy

Good idea. If I could get it in there without pulling the radiator, it would be great. But it is pretty close quarters down in there.

Re: Lower Radiator Hose Clamp Leak - Driving Me Crazy

I think you have likely nailed the problem. I was hoping someone would tell me a way to fix it without pulling the radiator again, but you are probably right that it has to come out. RATS!

Re: Lower Radiator Hose Clamp Leak - Driving Me Crazy

That sounds like it could be the problem. Can I fix it without pulling the radiator again?

Re: Lower Radiator Hose Clamp Leak - Driving Me Crazy

Hi Tom - Thanks for the quick reply. It is not leaking from the connection with the steel pipe. It is leaking from the clamp on the outlet of the radiator.
