If the coolant leaks because of cracked rubber hose section, than all you
need is a chisel , a screwdriver, new piece of rubber hose of the correct
diameter and a standard hose clamp. Cut the metal clamp which secures the
rubber hose to the metal one in half, remove the old hose and secure the
new one with the hose clamp. Works like a charm.
