I live in Wisconsin and it is getting colder. I have noticed that when I start my car to warm up, it leaks antifreeze out of the upper radiator hose at the connectors(at the radiator and the thermostat?). There are no patches or repairs on the hose that I can see. It does stop once the pressure builds up and the engine gets warm. Is this normal or should I replace the hose? Thanks

you need to replace the hose ... you don't want a leaking hose in the winter with ice forming etc.
