I too had a leak on the hose that connects to the "Y" pipe behind the water pump. I was filling up the surge tank about every 3 weeks, and had no leaks on the floor. However, when I shined a flashlight on @ the right angle, I was able to see a puddle of orange coolant on top of the block. Prestone makes a cooling system sealant that worked quite well on my car. It is NOT a stop leak fix for radiators, but specificly for the entire cooling system. The bottle istelf even states that it is for cooling hoses, pipes, and headgaskets. I ran it in my car, and I no longer see any coolant on the block, and the coolant level is stable. Now I do plan on replacing these hoses, I'm just treating this as more less as a bandage to take care of the problem for now. But since there was a leak previously, that indicates that there is a problem that needs to be corrected. But if you're car is a daily driver that you DEPEND on, it may be something that you may want to look into. -Robert vin 6585 "X"
