I went for a drive this afternoon. Smelled the sweetest smell . Made me think how great MO summers are. Then my "add coolant " Light came blarin on I was like oh ****!!... Pulled over- There was from what I can tell some kind of explosion in the area where the plugs are. I have no idea what the hell this is. Has this happened to anyone. Please help!! I am thinking it is a hose that looks like it comes out of the firewall in that area. It connects to the engine behind the spark plugs.

 

Coolant makes you think about how sweet summer is? :ROFL:

Coolant explosion near the plugs...

Gotta be..

HEATER LINE! Right under the oil filter.. Good luck, it's not the easiest hose to change. Unfortunately, where it's placed, oil drips down onto it from the oil filter, and eats the hose away in time.

yes there is a water hose that is close to the sparks plugs that is what probably happen to you i had the same problem replace it as soon as posible it is not that hard to replace good luck

 

where would I get that hose from- and is this relatively self- explanatory? Just slip the old off- slip the new on- doest look like there are clamps there- thanks for any help guys!!

 

just go to discount auto parts ,auto zone , pepboys well it is just a regular hose ,just get the measurement and get a new one, take the clamps off put the new one and u are ready to go

 

eh.. Just go to the parts store, and tell them that it's the heater inlet hose. You have to have the molded hose.
