So I come home Monday after work and notice two spots on my driveway. It's engine coolant. I just got the car on Saturday
So I drop it off at the dealer to get it fixed on Tuesday morning. I get it back--leaks worse. Take it to the dealer on Wednesday morning. I get it back that afternoon--still leaks, about as bad as it did at first. I can't tell exactly where it's coming from, but I'm getting a puddle on top of the tranny and the underside of the bottom radiator hose near the thermostat is wet. It seems to be a slow leak that continues after the engine is off. They replace the hose clamps (forgot to tighten one of them the first time, which is why it leaked worse), but now they're at a loss on what to do. I don't think either of the hoses are split. It's back at the dealership now. Anyone have any problems with radiator hoses leaking near the connections? Any other ideas where it could be coming from? Thanks.
