I have this annoying coolant leak. I had a shop install my engine. Two weeks ago I had a leak. I filled it up and ran the car, there is a very slight dripping, but once that drips for a while, and the car gets really warmed up, it starts to really spew out, so I found the leak. It was a hose that connects to the firewall in one place, and to another hardline behind the engine. I found a random hose at the parts store that seemed to work pretty well, and installed it. Oh yeah, also... the hoses that I took out were two smaller ones held together by a peice of plastic that seemed to be a mount, to hold them to the firewall. Well, that plastic wasn't mounted or anything, and the hose I replaced them with was just one longer hose... I assumed that didn't matter. Well now the car is leaking again, from the same area. I can't exactly see yet, but it seems to be from the same hose. It's a pain in the ass to replace, grr. Why would it bust open again? BTW I have an S13 with a Koyo Aluminum radiator.
I don't know which hoses are which, but I found this... does it have anything to do with it?
