A coolant hose is a wear item: heat, pressure, and time cause the material to harden, crack, swell, or leak. Signs this hose may need replacing include visible coolant seepage at the connections, bulging or spongy sections, or a hose that feels brittle. If a failed hose is the cause of coolant loss, replacing it restores a sealed coolant path.
Manufacturer part number 25474.
