[QUOTE="hppants, post: 1389686, member: 27852"] I had this exact issue (seeping from the hose connection) after I checked my valves. But it was for the hose to cylinder head cooling pipe connection. That connection is a bitch to maneuver and I put a very thin coat of Vaseline on the pipe to help the hose slip on. After discovering the leak, I tightened the connection to no help. Crap - let it cool down again and then I removed the hose and wiped off the Vaseline with a clean rag. Then I took some sandpaper and very lightly roughed up the inside of the hose. Put everything back together, paying close attention to the position of the hose clamp - making sure that the hose clamp was beyond the barb of the pipe, and yet I still had a 1/4" or so of hose between the clamp and the end of the hose. I also made sure that the hose was inserted all the way to the end of the pipe fitting, and was installed evenly throughout its circumference (not cocked even in the slightest). Tightened everything down and it worked. Not sure if this description makes sense Bill, but the concept might help you as well. [/QUOTE]
