90864, leaking ANTIFREEZE??!!!
Posted by Eclipse R97, Jun-23-05 10:05 AM
Ok heres the deal im leaking mad antifreeze!! It was just last week when i noticed it...poped the hood n saw that it was leaking where the clamp clamps down on the hose by the thermometer thingy...cause the clamp broke so im like ok...I go n buy a new clamp n put that on.

is good for a weekend now its leaking like a muther fucker!!! right where the clam is...this is driving me crazy, how the hell can it leak when the hose is clamped on mad tight!!!

I was thinking maybe the breather i installed a week earlier had something to do with this cause after the breather my temp would fluctuate when im on the highway doing 65 to 80. So PLEASE I NEED MAJOR HELP ON SOLVING THIS.

uh, maybe you have a tear in the house where the clamp is.

dude ive been battling this problem for quite some time now bought 3 new hoses sanded down the thermo housing bought ne clamps everything, fucker still leaks but i believe i might have it narrowed down to the factory clamps i think they (for some weird reason) are the old clamps we can use cause i put them back on and hasent leaked since! might wanna try that?
