Question Urgent Please Required!

I was cleaning my engine bay and I opend that fat rubber pipe indicated as a red circle on the picture and some sort of a dark red fluid started flowing. Just wondering what that was and what should I do.

Thanks,
Newbie.

Re: Urgent Please Required!

Hello...Use the camera zoom. It is hard to see what is going on in that picture.

It looks like it is your upper radiator hose. Our coolant is red.

If the hoses have never been replaced, drain the coolant and replace them. If you are short on time/money, then do just that one. Also, add new coolant if it is old.

Dan

What's your first language? Do you get nervous when you write your posts or something?

Re: Urgent Please Required!

Forgive me. I might be a little tipsy now. Too many Mirror Ponds. Hey, that is something you Toronto guys know about (beer). I was in Toronto years ago. One of the things that I loved about Canada was the beer selection. Toronto was awesome!

Hey, it's funny that one of you Canadians are correcting me on English. I reviewed my post. I can't find much wrong with it. If the English is bad, I'm sorry (not). I've always been better in math.

I've turned a lot of wrenches. That was the advice that I was trying to give.

BTW, I have more posts than you.

I'm not trying to stand up for myself. If you want to challenge me on math, go ahead.

Re: Urgent Please Required!

How about now? Is it coolant? Can I just flush it away and replace it with new coolant from canadian tire or something?

I was actually after the guy who posted the thread because the title was a little off for me. Your English is mighty fine my friend

Way to go being Diplomatic about it though. I thought only we Canucks do that. LOL

Re: Urgent Please Required!

Why would you open the radiator hose while cleaning the engine bay? Do you clean inside each hose?
