Coolant hose leak

[Drumaholic]

I know there are some threads already on coolant leaks but it seems most aren't sure where it is coming from and some say the tank is leaking from the bottom but I've noticed a leak on the hose on the front of my tank. It seems to be tight and sitting perfectly yet it still leaks. I should've taken pictures earlier but I've wiped it 3 times now and I only have 260 miles on the car. It collects on the ledge on the middle of the coolant tank. From the pics it is hard to see that it is dripping but when I first noticed it, it was much more obvious that it was leaking from the hose. Anyone else had this issue?

Take it to the dealer and have them replace the hose.

If you want to check it out yourself, remove the hose after the car is fully cooled down and see if there is any damage to the nipple on the coolant tank or damage on the inside of the hose.

Better off replacing that hose yourself. Shouldn't be more than $10. Much better than having your car serviced by idiots at the dealer and once you get it back you have scratches all over.

Had the same issue, dealer replaced the hose and no more leaking.

Same here from day one, on both my GTs. $40 for the hose. I didn't bother the dealer for this.

Ok thanks. I did take the hose off and it doesn't seem to be damaged but apparently something is wrong with it.

I think it is just molded to large.

Try clipping the tip of it just a bit and see if that help.

Btw I just looked at mine and is a bit longer than I though. Some guess is around $40 like it was mentioned.
