[QUOTE="*Jay*, post: 16551747, member: 108453"] Oh man what a great idea, I think you just saved me a whole lot of butt-pain in chasing that leak. Turns out the lower IC input hose is leaking when it gets around freezing temps outside. The paper towel I set under there just lapped it up over night and I can see a very small sheen and trace the trickle with a bright light, I never would have found that without placing something there to absorb it over time. I tried to tighten the worm clamp by hand with a 8mm tipped screwdriver and it wouldnt budge, threw the socket handle on and tightened down another full turn. If it stays dry then awesome, if not looks like I will be going back to rubber heater hose for that section. I am assuming that the new silicon hose doesnt seal as easily as the old rubber heater hose I had replaced, looks like it was tight enough to seal in warm temps but not once the temps dropped and then it weeped coolant. Fingers crossed and thanks for everything, will update when available. [/QUOTE]
