Can you guys look at this pic and let me know if this is common. That white substance is dried coolant. I'm only losing a tiny bit, like an inch in the tank every 1,000 miles. It may be coming from the seem on the radiator between the aluminum and plastic sides. What do you guys think? I can't see any kind of real time drip, just this crud that keeps coming back after I clean it off.

 

have seen leaks from the radiator seams as well as that neck for the hose. either way, you can't get the neck seperately.

 

How many miles on the car? How is the hose looking. may just need to replace the hose they do wear over time and are much cheaper than a radiator

 

93k on the car. The hose was pulled back about 1/4" from the seat so I reseated and moved the clamp back. Hopefully this will fix the problem. The hoses look really good, no cracks or brittle spots.

 

Drove it all weekend with no crud so that must have been the problem. It sure looked like it was coming from the radiator, but I guess it was bouncing off. Interesting that a high pressure system only has that type of clamps.
