Default Leaking radiator or hose?

Hey guys, it´s me again!

New pain is a leaking rad or hose, i hoped it was the hose and put on a new hose clamp, but that wasn´t the issue, fluid will only come out at full pull, while i´m on crusing, there was no discharge, please look at the pics below and gave me your experiences...











Best regards,
Ronald

I suggest taking that worm gear clamp off and tossing it in the trash then slide the spring clamp back on. Then get in on the alradco group buy thread

Radiator. As mentioned, get the alradco radiator and be done, because if you do get a factory replacement, you will be replacing it again. I went the cheap route and bought a factory radiator with a lifetime warranty. It split 2500 miles later, so I bought the alradco one. I rather just be done with it instead of planning a radiator swap every oil change.

double up on the spring clamp get rid of that worm drive. delete does look like it's probably coming from the radiator itself
