leaking coolant from firewall?
so i finally traced down the coolant ive been leaking all the way back to this hose. from what im told its the heater hose but i have no idea why its leaking the clamp on it is brand new. if you look directly under the hose u can see how water has been leaking from the hose and it has dried or something.

so is it getting inside the passenger side? i had the problem where coolant was getting inside and there was huge puddle on the passenger side carpet. or is it on the other side of the firewall?

How old is the hose? That looks like the driver-side heater hose, which loves to fail and kill engines. If it isn't brand new, I'd pick up a new one from Mazda for peace of mind. Unfortunately, that's also probably the most expensive formed hose on the car. It doesn't really matter how new a hose clamp is. If the hose is failing, no clamp will seal it.

Did you use pliers to pull off the old hose? I've seen people do that and oval the nipple on the fire wall. If that happens you don't get a tight seal which of course, results in a leak.
