Posting here to see if my theory is right or not and figure out what this hose is used for since old threads don't label it.
Drove up 6 hours from home and I'm now at Lake Tahoe with the family.
Last night I smelled coolant only to find there was some puddled up at the top of the radiator.
No signs of a crack at the plastic end tank as I checked my fluids before my trip. No dried coolant, nothing.
The area that's most wet is here circled in cyan (using generic picture I stole online) -
My thoughts were...due to the elevation changes driving up here (6,000 feet above sea level) that the changes caused coolant to spew out? But the weird thing is, it only happened after having been parked an hour then heading out to get some food.
I'm without tools, have our two dogs and wife.
Thinking of cutting the trip short and slowly heading home with coolant at my disposal. Just sucks because there are long stretches of roads away from civilization.
