Whenever I got a coolant hose leak I find that the simplest cheapest and easiest way to permanently fix it without having to spend sometimes even a $100 for new hose assemblies, is instead a 5 dollar fix: welcome to a simple hose coupling. It costs about 5 bucks and comes with two clamps and u can get one for about any size. What I do is simply cut the hose in half with a razor where the leak is, insert the coupling between the cut, clamp em back up and there ya have it , good as new, no tape, no worrying about it coming off because this is exactly the method the factory uses at the end of the hose, you're just doing it in middle. Good luck! Was surprised not to see anyone on KZread mention this 🤔 Ps: if ur stuck on the side of the road the easiest way to get back home would be taping up the leak with whatever tape u can get ur hands on (many rounds, use the whole roll if yall have to!) and if u have no tape just wrap a towel or cloth as tight as u can and then just loosen the coolant cap enough for some air to get out so u release the pressure on that tape or cloth. Then fill up reservoir with water if u have no coolant. (Make sure u don't leave that water in during the winter as it'll freeze up)

Awesome video. And also you are the only other person ive heard say "No more chooch" lol

Thanks a lot for this. It was good advice

guys dont use regular silicone on hoses unless you absolutely have to, MUST wait till it cures if you do. dont have to clean it off with silicone tape as it only fuses to itself, it works good btw

Cool and funny vid thanks

Nicely done... Brief, pretty straight foward, and educational with some humor dashed in for good measure. Quick question: I'm currently in a similar situation (on the Bay Bridge with 1 role of electric tape, 1 pack of winter fresh gum, and some basic hand tools. Do you think this is a tow truck situation?

Just poor water on the exhaust manifold. It'll make you feel like you're cooling it better.
