Alrighty guys I need to see if you all know something I don't.

I keep getting a coolant leak. Its coming from behind the engine off of one of the hardlines. I am using high temps rubber caps with hose clamps to keep the caps secured...the issue is they keep cracking on me and creating a leak. Do you guys have any hardware you could recommend? Anything higher temp or a tougher material?

Also pretty sure its the cold weather freezing the rubber and making it super hard and cracking even faster. Didn't have any issues in summer.
