My Antifreeze will drip out along the back of my engine till the antifreeze reservoir is almost at the bottom then stop if I fill it to the line, it will drip out again to the same level, I cannot see where it coming from, I just replaced the motor mounts and can you Please send me information on replacing the hoses at the top rear passenger side. I know there are a couple hoses. It's not overheating when I drive it, nor does it lose any additional antifreeze.
Thanks

Hi,

I believe you are referring to the heater hoses. I attached directions below for replacing them. Let me know if that is what is needed or if it is something different.

Note that the thermostat housing is in the same area. You may want to consider pressure testing the system to locate where it is coming from. You will need a pressure tester, but most parts stores will lend one to you. Also, the directions are for the outlet hose. The supply hose is basically the same and install is the opposite of removal.
