Default Upper Radiator hose ALERT
I have a 04 Coupe with 57000 miles on it.
Well today I was lucky.
I was close to home when I discovered a pin hole leak in my upper radiator hose. I lost some coolant but not much and did not overheat.
I made it home and found that there is only one upper hose in the US and it is being shipped to me.
The hole was caused by constant contact/rubbing on the plastic cooling fan shroud in a spot where there are two round raised surfaces with sharp edges.
I have attached a few pics to show you where to look to see if your hose is rubbing this spot or not.
Looking for feedback from all of you with your findings.
This is a view on the drivers side of the engine compartment in front of the power steering pump.
