Question

Hello again-

 

A quick question, I hope one of you has been through before, but I don't remeber ever seeing it posted.  I have a coolant leak (surprise, surprise!) where the turbo coolant return line connects to the block, down by the oil filter mount.  It is a small section of hose, ferrule crimped to the metal pipe.  When I had a leak with a similar joint, up at the top, where there is a trasition to metal pipe where the head water outlet is, I used a piece of 3/8" ID high-temp hose and two clamps.

 

My question is, is the lower one the same size?  I'd like to buy the hose before I take it all apart.  It looks like a b***h to get at!  Any hints?  Remove the alt?

 

Could this have anything to do with switching to Dexcool?  I did that 1 1/2 years ago, though.

 

Thanks so much-
