Leaking coolant from silicon radiator hose

[djcharliek]

Guys, ever since I had a water temp sensor put into my top raditor hose, it has been leaking coolant around the edges. It usually occurs when I start the car. Does anyone have any solutions to this? And yes, the hose clamp is on real tight already. :wink: Any suggestions on how to fix?

I think you will find that it is all but impossible to get it 100%. Why did you get one put there anyways??

Put a piece of an old tube say 30mm x 30mm Under your sensor wire
& smere a bit of silicone over the wire & shove the hose over that.
Use a flat 10mm wide hose clamp & not the crap Mitsu one = Done !
