    Just a matter of replacing the clamp or sign of something worse?

    Looks to me like it's leaking at the connection. Also looks like that constant tension hose clamp has been moved out of its original position, but that probably isn't the problem. I'd clean it up, get a new hose and see what happens.

    Nope it should be next to the muffler fluid reservoir.

    Try a new hose. Clean up the metal while you have it off.

    Your radiator hose is swollen which means it's pretty old. I bet it's soft & squishy too.

    Hell,,, bet there is another 10yrs left in that hose....
    maybe a little armor all.....

    Just dont look inside it......



    Not a fan of those constant tension clamps for larger diameters....
    work great when hose is new and supple.....
    .....not so great when you reseat on old hose...
    thats where you'll get seepage......it'll go right through the layers of the hose....
