Doing some tuning tweeks on the coach after all the work of the last month. Laying on my belly board (new one that covers over the alternator so I don't have to worry about getting the timing light wires or my shirt sleeve into the alternator fan), and I noticed the slightest smell of antifreeze. About that time, I saw something tiny hit my glasses. So I whipped out my trusty energizer pocket flashlight (worth it's weight in gold!) out of my shirt pocket and started looking. Sure enough there was a drop of water on the heater hose coming off the water pump. Upon further inspection, I noticed a TINY spray of fluid from a pinhole in the hose just above the clamp. So I shut it off and let things cool down. I was able to just cut off an inch and a half and put it back on but the hose feels a bit spongy so I guess it's time to replace them all. The PO did it in the last few years before I got it but that's been 5 years now.
Water leaks in hoses NEVER get better. NEVER!
