Coolant Leak

[livewirevoodoo]

Since this past friday been leaking a lil coolant.

Here are my the specifics:

* Only when hot/pressurized
* Localized from what looks like lower radiator hose after the clamp nearest to radiator (hose from pump to passenger side radiator)
* Clamp is extra tight, still drips
* Radiator and hose are both new as of August '04

If i release the clamp some to adjust the hose while system is cold it stars flowing in proportion to how loose clamp is.

Whats next?

is it possible that you have the clamp too tight and are cutting into the hose or possibly cracked the hose fitting on the radiator?

both are i suppose. which would tend to give first from normal driving?

Usually the hose.
