Coolant / Radiator leak

[ashtro]

Hi guys

Spotted coolant leak in my driveway and so I took the 6MPS to my local Mazda dealer. They said I have a leak in the top part of my radiator and pointed out where the leak was. I attached some pics of where the leak is and was hoping for some advice.

[Really hoping it doesn't require an overhaul of my radiator ]

Appreciate any feedback guys

Cheers

I too had a leak from the hose at the top, over time that hose gets quite loose so I just put clamps on it which fixed it. Mine also looked like it was leaking from the radiator cap and also that other part which you pointed out in your diagram, but the clamps on the hose fixed it as that is where all the mess came from. Hopefully that's all you need, good luck!

Cheers Krs, refreshing to hear someone has experienced very similar situation. The Mazda dealer put a zip tie on the side of the hose that was leaking but I was told its best to get clamps (like the ones you have). Can I ask where you got your clamps from?

Thanks again

Repco, Autobarn and Supercheap have them.

@ashtro how did you go with the leak?

so far so good Krs! tighting of the hose seems to have stopped the leak
