·Ok,
Last weekend the RAV was due for an oil change and I also did a bit of a tuneup since we've had the vehicle for 25k miles and the previous owner did one a few thousand miles before we bought it.
So, I'm underneath there, just doing the regular check through and I notice a drop of green on the splash shield...ok, so off with the shield and it seems the hose is leaking...so I drain the radiator and pull the hose...not a really old hose, I'd say no more than 2 years old...can't really find a split where it was leaking...so I get another hose from AutoZoned...put that on, tighten it up and we're good to go...
I check the oil this morning and there's another drip of coolant...argh...
Looks like another exploratory for my weekend, either the hose clamps weren't tight enough...which I doubt, or some of the plastic bits that they are clamped to have cracked over time...which I think is more likely...
