Rare Minor Radiator Hose Leak.... any idea?
Not actually a leak but an occassional "spray" of bits. I've had it happen twice since i've had my car. Not a leak as none ever hits the ground. Cleans right off and doesnt come back.
First time it happened was right after I installed my CAI. Maybe a day after I noticed a small amount of that green stuff on there. Wiped it off.... didnt see it again for a while.
Second time it happened was after I ran my dyno. Once again no full out leak just a bit of a spray of sorts a cross a couple of pieces.
if you look at the main pic you can see where the hose comes from.... it leaks at the far right part of it on the bottom side.
on this pic you can see a bit larger view of the first one. As you can see from, the hose the coolant (i'm assuming that's what it is) came from is relatively clean. It's only a VERY small section on the bottom side that has the green on it.
and on this last pic you can see the last part it sprayed on
doesn't seem like a HUGE issue to me but I could be wrong. It seems like it's happens when that tube gets under high pressure and then the weak part sprays a little bit. I have no idea what that tube does but any insight would be appreciated. Anyone else had this problem?
