So I was the guy at the light today with steam blowing out the grill of my Escape, and leaving a burnt Kool-Aid smell everywhere I went. :cuss:
Luckily it was a slow leak and I was able to get home. I located the hose that had cracked, and it looks like it goes to the plate where the oil filter screws on. I'm assuming this is the oil cooler. The hose that popped was the one near the oil filter (connects to the water pump then to a pipe that goes back to the oil cooler).
Does anyone know what this hose is called? I hit AutoZone and Advance and both had no idea, said call the dealer. I've looked through Fast Parts Network and couldn't locate it there either. For the time being, I found a hose that was similar and I put that sucker on there with hose clamps -- maybe this is good enough? :shrug:
Thanks!
