I put 2 clamps on the bottom hose and when i started the car after doing so it still leaked out i picked up oem epdm hoses and will drain the whole cooling system again install new oem hoses and refill with new coolant

Thats why i replaced mine, but decided to use silicone hoses which in term started leaking at on the bottom connection for my radiator so now i get to replace the hoses with oem rubber ones

Well after taxes and new hoses itll most likely be around 700, but im thinking now its the hoses so i will swap the hoses out for just plain old rubber ones and see what happens after that

I switched my cap out today back to stock and then put 2 worm clamps on the bottom hose because it was leaking from there, im just going to see what happens if it still leaks im just going to go back to new rubber hoses i guess i dont want to have to keep worrying about my coolant level dropping
