Hi all!
 
Whenever I drive my 76 Vette for awhile. I look under the hood and it looks like coolant has spewed from reservoir hose. My lower rad hose has not collapsed I have the hose with wire in it. Car runs fine....but concerned about coolant coming from hose. Any help would be appreciated.
 
Thanks!
 
Darrell

From which end of the reservoir hose? Radiator, or overflow bottle?
It could be the radiator cap is failing, or the hose at either end may have a small split/crack. Check to make sure all of the hose clamps are nice and tight....thy can loosen over time as the hoses compress. Thumbs Up

It's coming from the overflow bottle.
 
Thanks
