OK, I'm truly baffled.
I serviced the cooling system on my '99. It wasn't overheating, just "new" vehicle preventive maintenance. :repair: Full flush, all new hoses, thermostat, water pump, radiator. I'm using screw clamps & I put the coiled spring from an old hose into the new one. When I add coolant and before even running the Jeep, there's seepage from the base of the lower hose connection to the radiator. I swapped hoses. Same thing. I took the radiator back & bought a different one, different store, different brand. Same seeping. Disconnected the hose & reconnected. Still seeping! :banghead: What am I doing wrong?!?
This is driving me nuts - it's been 2 weeks, haven't driven the Jeep, and of course I waste coolant every time I disconnect the hose. Any ideas?
