    May just need to be pulled off, cleaned, and attached with a better clamp. OR...It could have a small crack in the hose.

    The lower hose in my old talon did that. I read online that the cap usually causes this to happen. So i got a new one from the junkyard and changed the fluid and it never did it again.

    They are pretty inexpensive compared to a blown engine, I would replace the hose and the cap just to be on the safe side.

    thats the output hose. the water is coming from that side of the motor. that side should have pressure. I would flush the system and see what happens.

    Get Distilled water. or buy water made for this.

    Do not use tap water or filtered water.
    it has stuff in it that will rust your block out.

    I would asl get water wetter to add as well, but it is over kill.
