Got it, will keep an eye on the clamp. Yes sir, OEM cap is ordered ✅

You mean this white crap? It was my daily and now only used occasionally. So not driving it enough sounds plausible.

Understood! Thank you!! And thanks for the patience everyone. Still new to the site and norms and stuff.

Ah man, so I did replace the hose and all that. few driving cycles, no leaks under car. Temps normal But you mentioned the white smoke upon start up then dissipation, that has happened in the past many times. Going to check the cap today. Uhh I’m scared

Thank you!! So here is the new hose. Although not an OEM part, I worked with what I had. But for the future, I will def stick to oem. If it still looks janky, let me know please.

Hello all, I am back with some n00b questions. Was doing some work earlier and found these two to be leaking. Just wondering what they are, and what issues this could cause as it is. I also have a much larger issue but not as pressing. Check engine light has been on since I’ve gotten the...

Yes, they are from Napa Auto Parts. I’ll have to look up the OEM ones.

Thank you! Everything seems to be fine after replacing the hose and filling the radiator completely.

I’ll keep an eye on it.

Is the zerex okay to use. It’s what I’ve been using.

Oops, should have shown a better pic here. There is a slight dent on the pipe there. No puncture. But the dark spot is where the red coolant dripped

Replaced hose

Okay so I filled the radiator fully. Started and we are good so far. I’m attaching pictures of some relevant info if anyone sees anything Thanks everyone for helping. Trying to prepare for a bday trip with the gf this weekend.

I did not open the petcock, only what was drained when replacing the passenger side hose. I’m unfamiliar, is there a thermostat in the cap?

This seems a lot more doable. I’m not sure about opening the cap after the engine has been running. Thanks! I’ve lurked for while. But I want to start doing the work myself.
