More great news! (Maybe more like an update.)
I did as Dreadnaught suggested and after the engine was at normal operating temperature, I wiggled and pulled a bit on the hose near the OEM clamp. There was no leakage, but I also tried rotating the hose a bit and it did indeed rotate quite easily-- too easily, IMO. So I spent $3.79 on two stainless steel hose clamps, cleaned the tube and the affected area of any remnants of coolant, removed and saved the OEM clamp and, using a manual nut driver, installed the new clamp just tight enough so that I could not rotate the hose using the same effort that had easily rotated the OEM clamp. We'll drive the car for some more kms and this time, after each and every ride, I'll be checking for remnants of leakage. I'm betting that there will be none. (And because I have placed a bet, there will definitely be some leakage.) |
