I need to replace the hose that comes out of the front of the coolant expansion tank, then runs along the front of the car on top of the radiator.
It was leaking at the coolant tank when I bought the car(used). Didn't notice until I'd been driving it for a while. I replaced the stock coolant tank with a Moroso a few days ago and replaced the Ford hose clamps with standard worm-gear hose clamps as well.
Still leaking from the same spot. I then thought to check the other end of the hose at the top of the radiator, and sure enough it's been leaking there too.
There's been a thread or two about this previously and people with the same problem said the fix was to replace the hose.
So what's the spec on the hose, and where's the best place to buy a replacement? Never bought a radiator hose before, can I just go to Auto Zone and buy a length of hose? Cut it to fit?
