Re: Hoses replaced, still leaking

["jtrealtywebspannet" <jtrealty@xxxx>]

Reasons for a leak on the left pipe:
Loose hose clamp
Defective hose or incorrect hose
Corrosion on pipe not cleaned off before replacing hose
Crack or some other defect on end of pipe
Leaking otterstadt switch seal
If the fan belt cut into the hose then the coolant will run down to 
the pipe looking like a leak from the pipe.
The way to do this is to get a pressure tester, pump up the system a 
little and find the source of the leak.

clamp problem or is something else going on?
