Bought the car in 2011, has never overheated on me.
1. New radiator installed after purchase as the old one looked in bad condition.
2. Replaced upper radiator hose with an used OEM one in good condition from junk yard.
3. New AEM hose clamp that needs to be screw tightened.
i have attempted to circle with area in the image where coolant leak builds up, i hope everyone can see it. it is really random, didn't show up for 1 year then randomly started to show up, cleaned it up a few times, and even started the car to see where the coolant leak was coming from had no luck, it's small enough that whenever i open the radiator cap it's never low on coolant. Sometimes the leak won't show up for a week or two, seems more frequent since the winter months.
A family member needs to borrow it for a few months for an out of state job. I need to fix it by tomorrow afternoon so any help or advice would be appreciated.
Should i replace the upper radiator hose with new OEM hose and new OEM hose clamp?
or just replacing the to a new OEM hose clamp should be sufficient?
