My vehicle blew a hose and smells like burnt oil. I want to say it is the coolant hose, but just want to make sure that is what it is.

If you are smelling oil then we have to assume it is an oil line but what fluid is leaking on the ground?

Depending on what fluid you are finding will determine what hose blew. However, if we have a smell of oil then we have to assume this was an oil line until we can confirm something different. Here are guides that will help with trying to figure out what to do with these types of leaks.

Please review these guides and let me know what questions you have:
