leaking hose

04-12-2006, 11:27 AM

OK guys, I believe that my heater hose? is leaking. It is the hose that comes out from under the thermosta housing on the passanger side it bends up and has a 4-5" aluminum pipe crimped in it with a brass screw(bleeder valve?) in the top. It is leaking where it is crimped on. I am thinking of just cutting the pipe out of the middle and hose clamping a pipe(hopefully I can find one with a bleeder valve like the original) where it was--just wondering if anyone has run into this and if it is necessry to replace that whole hose which is $140

Thanks for any info
