[Vwdiesel] Leaking hose temporary fix

[David]

I had a sudden leak from the 3 fitting oil cooler hose. It had developed the leak at the stressed part of the hose from inside out.  Fortunately sent a geyser of coolant steam out the hood.  Much better than having a warning light, in this case! I was able to make it to a store parking lot. Sucessfully stopped the leak on hose using black RTV sealant, added distilled water and drove around with coolant cap loose  until I was able to get the replacement pricey hose. Probably good idea to replace old hoses  since a failure can kill the engine....
