I bought the thing with green in the radiator but haven't flushed it out to put red in it. The hoses "look" okay. No evidence of splitting or rot.
Here's the problem. The last two days when I take the truck out on a short trip and stop, I loose about a cup or two of fluid out of the upper large radiator hose in the back. I can see it dribble out from underneath. The weird thing is that when I was forced to drive it longer it stopped. It only leaks on that first drive. It's like when it gets warmed up it stops.
My thought is that it might be a clamp or something? That the neck is loose until it expands and tightens up inside the hose?
Anyone seen anything like this, and how can I tighten the clamps?
Thanks in advance.
