Radiator Overflow Maintenance (1 Viewer)

Good Afternoon,

I noticed the infamous “pink crusty” buildup at top of my radiator at overflow hose connection.

Does this indicate a brittle plastic connection and this a potential leak hazard in my future? It just reminds me of the Heater T sign of wear n tear.

Only one way to find out: pull the hose off and inspect. Odds are the hose is old and hardened and needs to be replaced.

What size hose do I need for this? I’m having the same issue.

Use a tighter fitting clamp.

Just cut off 1/2" off that end and reinstall with the less stretched out part of it.
