    Ok so I got this nice jeep that had low miles on it. I decided to replace mostly everything the serpentine belt goes around. So I replaced water pump, thermostats. Pullys and what not. Anyway after driving to work about 20 miles I check pull the top off of my radiator to look in and it was no anti freeze in the top. So I added some and it didn't take much at all to fill it. So I know it's not a terrible leak. I see a hose that's seeping out coolant on the thermostat housing so I'm gonna replace the clamp with a clamp you screw down on. I hope that's gonna fix it. Any advice is apreciated thanks.

    Inspect condition of the hose and decide whether it needs replacement. Perhaps the clamp was just loose.

    Yeah I have new clamps I'm adding. Also it's a little cruddy where the hoes goes on probably need to be cleaned.
