Does anyone know with a good degree of certainty what size hose is needed to replace the lower hose from the coolant overflow bottle to the thermostat housing.
I suspect with about 80% accuracy that mine has a stress crack of some sort because everything is perfectly dry when parked in the garage but after a drive and everything warms up when I park the car I get a small drip and it stops once the engine cools down.
I've tried Midwest and International and only find listings for the upper hose which is like an 'S' so I can understand needing a factory replacement. The lower hose though is only about 10" long and pretty straight so I was going to go to a local autoparts store and buy a piece and replace it but I don't know the inside diameter of hose to buy. I would guess it is probably about 1/2" or 5/8" but I would love to know for sure.
