Coolant spray/leak. Quick fix just 1 question

**VejGTP** · 12-26-2009

This is for a 2004 GP GTP. Lately I've been smelling antifreeze while I'm driving, I looked under the hood and there is antifreeze sprayed all over pretty much everything on the left side.

I just had a closer look today and I found out that the small tube with coolant running through it was touching the supercharger belt and it was cut open. The place I bought the car from replaced the battery right before I drove off with it so they must have moved the tube over and not put it back in place. (It is zip tied to something)

I'm just wondering if anyone knows what this small tube is called so I can replace it. Here are a few pictures!

Just go to a parts store with the hose and get some hose the same size. It is supposed to clip into your fuse panel. I just zip tired mine up to the fender brace.

Do I need to wait a certain amount of time after turning the car off before I remove it?

as long as its coolish and theres no fluid in it. aka, the rad cap isn't pushing fluid into it.

Better done with the car cool. Unless you slowly open the rad cap.

Its attached to the rad cap on the new ones?

**TheOtherNick** · 12-26-2009

no but you have to remove the cap to fill the rad which is probably low.

It's been in the garage all day and it's freezing outsize so the car isn't warmed up at all. I started it like 15 minutes ago but only for about 5 minutes.
