i just bought this car. everything seemed good this morning the screen says fill the coolant tank. so i open the hood and i locate the source of the leak, it is coming from a hose next to the upper radiator hose. it is a small diameter hose that doesn't seem to have a clamp almost looks like a press fit it seems to be leaking at this hose. i have no idea how to fix.. which is why i'm writing you.

Hi,

It's possible that it's a heater hose. Can you take a picture of it and upload it for me to see? If not, take a look at the pic I attached. Is the hose any of the ones in the picture? If so, let me know which number it is.

Take care,
Joe
