Leaking


Hello all. I had water pump, radiator, heater core replaced less than a year ago and all was fine but last week I noticed radiator/coolant leaking. I thought what now? So I'm asking what now? Its leaking from top part of the "T" is it called Junction? Big job?

Thank you..

You need to drain all the coolant
And you need to get a whole new unit, lower rad hose with T and hose as one piece

I don't think a cut and splice will work
The other work on the system probably caused the old hose to crack, it happens

I've never done one but have read that it can be done without removing other parts, just have the right tools and patience

When you say whole new unit.. what do you mean whole new unit?
Thank you for responding..

You need the lower radiator hose "assembly" for your year and engine size, you don't mention either so can't post a link to it

But looks like this one: https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/AeMAA...Qo~/s-l225.jpg
