I think you are referring to the small top hose attatched to the radiator. If so, and you have the original radiator, be very careful when removing it. The original radiators tend to crack easily; which might also be your problem. If the radiator has not been changed since the car was new, I suggest replacing it. I got the updated brass radiator from PJ Grady, and it works great! Anytime you remove a hose from a presurized coolant system, it's my belief that you must bleed the system. Hope this helps. ---Dan ----- Original Message ----- From: Jim <starbuck@xxxx> To: <dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, November 07, 1999 12:02 AM Subject: [DML] radiator hose > I was looking under the passenger side front tire and I noticed that > the small radiator hose on top is cracked and has a glazed look to it.. > When I replace this is it going to add air in to the system?
