[s-cars] Coolant Leak

[Matt twentyV]

Yep, and any attempt to fix this by tightening the
hose clamp just makes it worse.  Then, if you decide
to remove the hose and inspect the nipple <sic>, you
will likely end up with just the metal insert
remaining attached to the tank.
Don't ask why I know this.
