hiya guys, i notice a small coolant leak coming from a hose that is located lookers left of the head, down and left, there is a metal hose connected to the block and a rubber hose connected to it, this is where the leakage happens, any thoughts, 1994 unlocked stock backroad montana cruiser with a glock sticker, thank youany thoughts

Sounds like the phh, a.k.a. pesky heater hose. Search "phh".

Give that hose more credit than that...You mean the

"Infamous PHH"...

What thoughts do you need other than, "Hey, you better change that hose; it's leaking!" ;p

No really, what info are you looking for?

 

[sdbrassfield]

That is an easy one...when he said left I thought he meant drivers side...phh is on the other side of the block...

It looks like one of the "sardine" style clamps. Does it look like a cotter key on the other side of the hose? I cant tell form the picture.

If it is, get a needle nose plier on the end and "unwind" it by turning counter clock wise. You should see the clamp begin to loosen. Once you get it unwound, you should be able to get a side cutter under the part of the little metal band. you should see what I am talking about once you get started. I just did about 8 or 9 of these clamps as I replaced all the small chunks of rubber hoses i.e PHH and FHH, and PFHH (pesky firewall heater hose)

Cut and toss the clamp. Replace hose. Use standard hose clamp to replace the one you destroyed..
