welp, finally got this fixed i do believe.

was able to finally have some help getting the clamp moved down the hose a good half inch or so and re-tightened there, no leaks seen since.

glad this was a minor deal, and not of need of a major or mild repair/replacement of something.

all i have left to do now is have the breaks replaced, will come down the road as its not an immediate need.

 

Good to see it was a easy fix.
Are you going to attempt to change the brakes yourself?
After you change your first set you will think to yourself, huh that is alot easier than expected.
Ceramic pads

 

I will definably get some help if i decide to do it myself, as i dont even own the proper tools to do the job. are the brake censors easy to do as well? (do i need 2 or 4 of them?)

 

How many miles on it ?
I ask, because if it is REALLY high mileage, you might need a new set of rotors as well as new ceramic pads.
( The sensor wire clips to one of the pads, some sets come with new wires, some don't )

 

71000, rotors seem to look fine

 

It really isn't hard to do the brakes on this car. Has anyone done a DIY yet? The tools needed are not exotic, and pretty cheap to purchase. Pads and rotors online are cheap, and you can do the upgrade while you have er up. If you can turn wrenches, and have done a previous brake job, and do not need the car for a week, then get at it. You will then know how and save yourself $$$ the rest of your life doing your own brake jobs.

 

It takes you a week to do a brake job ?
You must work at a Chrysler dealership

 

What I was thinking.
And I thought it was only a couple hr job with basic tools.

 

Funny Guys. I was referring to the new guy and his admitted lack of skill in wrenching. 4 Hours is what it took me to do the pads and Disk Italia rotors on BB 4 years ago, but my point is that even if you don't know how, You can take your time and still get it done. It's not that hard of a job to put it up on stands and do your own brakes. You can save yourself $1000.

 

You could get a set of front and rear drilled rotors and ceramic pads from eBay $120-$150 (I not a fan of slotted rotors do to the glazing, but drilled is a upgrade)
That way if you would have any ? about the rotors do not worry about it and just change them. Or if the rotors look smooth and no grooves and the brake pedal is not jerky, could save new or old rotors for later.

 

I had a similar issue and discovered that the nipple was compromised on my over flow tank. I bought a brass nipple, slightly bigger than the stock and drilled mine out and jammed the larger two sided brass nipple into the overflow tank until I could get someone to deliver me a new tank ($50). That overflow tank seems to be pressurized so a cracked nipple allowed for seepage even with 2 clamps on it.

Check that nipple and see if it's cracked.

 

no need to check it, the problem was fixed over a week ago. it was nothing more than the hose not being connected properly.
