2002 Elantra VE: Lower Radiator hose leak.

    Good morning group,

    I woke up and went off to work to see fluid leakage on the driveway.

    I looked under the car and it appears to be coming from the lower
    radiator hose. From what I can tell it's either right at the nipple
    when the hose connects to the radiator or the clamp gave way
    allowing it to leak a bit.

    I already did a system flush last year at my shop.

    This time I'm going to change the hose myself. Would I be able to
    get away with just opening the radiator cap and fluid resevoir and
    popping the hose out while it drains and then re attach the new one
    or would I have to change it in a specific manner??

    Thanks in advance

    Your method should bve fine. Be prepared with a gallon of new coolant,
    and
    dispose of your old coolant properly.
