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)

Just get it towed. If it's not distilled water , you will get mineral deposits in your engine. Unrelated: If you do a neti pot nasal irrigation with tap water, u may get a brain infection. That is why they use distilled water when doing nasal irrigations.

Happened with my car once when the coolant return pipe cracked. I was hundreds of miles away from the nearest authorised service center and was also not in my hometown. Was staying in a hotel. I bought a small pack of epoxy putty and applied a thin layer on the crack - left my vehicle parked in the parking lot overnight to allow it to dry and solidify and then drove back home the next day without any issues of coolant leakage. I got the hose replaced after a year. The epoxy putty held on real strong. Just sharing with in case anyone face such a situation.

How about melting a tie wrap with a soldering iron over the hose's cut itself? Sounds pretty straightforward to me, since it will literally become part of the hose construction itself...

tried a similar product on a pin hole on a tractor radiator hose does not work the emergency tape gave a much better result had a dew drop leak re wrapped the hose yet to see if the timy dew drop is gone however still have a new hose to fit

My father was national leading salesman for loctite Corp while I was growing up. I developed this product to allow people to fix something very fast. In a lot of cases it is permanent. In a lot of cases it is not. To permanently fix I would cover with Johnny weld to seal immediately and then go over it with permatex. Now you can drive while the permatex dries. Works well to hold items while epoxy cures as well. If you would like ill send you a free bottle. Have a good day bud

@@LuXoR1590 gotcha. Yea, right now I'm trying to fix a leak either on a smaller overflow hose? From the top of a Ford explorer '05 radiator or a small fracture on that hose mount hook up. If it's that hose, after I remove it and look for deterioration/ breaks in that rubber hose then, that would be simple to replace, but if it's on that plastic outlet area then i might try either JB weld or something similar for hard plastic construction of radiator. I noticed about 20 ounces low in overflow tank by airbox side, and a small flow of coolant fluid draining from the small hose hookup/ outlet. Maybe I can figure it out, 👍

After heat no working this idea

pipes like that ususally break when they're really really old and the gazilliont hot/cold cycle takes it toll and perishes the material. a hole will from from the inside, and if you repair that hole, another will appear from elsewhere. the walls of that host are uniformally compromised, do yourself a favour and replace it with a brand new part.

Any average super glue will hold a higher heat than a vehicle runs at. Also works well on compressed air hoses and fittings. I've actually fixed leaks on pressure washers that run over 2000psi. On a rubber radiator hose the hose will fail after about 500 miles because the rubber separates without internal fiberglass reinforcement in the affected area. Will get you to a shop and beyond.
