    Yes I tried moving the hose clamp back on the hose I may try that if it continues the dealer quoted me 75 for the replacement hose part.

    To me it almost seems like it’s coming from the radiator side I’m going to drive it and see what it looks like in a few days maybe it will be easyer to tell then.

    I like the stock clamp style best. If you’re replacing the clamp I’d try to stick to the OEM style. I’ve tried a few types over the years and always end up going back to stock.

    Could be as simple as the threaded barb is weeping at the threads where it’s threaded into the bigger flat nut that holds the actual cooler tight to the tank, once again it’s a super crappy picture, and then an expert Ford tech, a Toyota tech…
    If that’s the case, hold the big nut with big wrench or a crescent wrench to keep stress off the tank & snug up the barb…
    Or follow the above instructions and remove the bar and put some liquid teflon sealer around it…
