Coolant leak

[Sweety]

Went out this morning & noticed a wet patch under the truck:doh opened the bonnet & noticed what looked like water spray on the N/S of the fan cowling, then noticed the hose from the thermostat to bottom of the rad soaking wet dried it all off well & couldn't see any marks etc on the hose but I think water was been running down it. Managed to get a few turns on the hose clip & it wasn't as tight as it should have been in my eyes:augie so tightened every hose clip up:augie
I'm thinking water might have been seeping past the hose clip & running down the hose but wondered if anyone had any other ideas on where the leak could be coming from:nenau My last T2 used to get a leak every winter & i'm sure it was due to parts cooling down & shrinking at different rates at very low temps fixed it by adding rad weld:lol

I've just had same problem my thermostat housing was cracked! You could see hairline cracks inside it. Got another one metal this time and sorted!

Thermostat housing looks fine & it was bone dry down the front of the engine & checked the water pump as I know to well they can leak but all seamed good:thumb2 been out tonight & the engine was up to running temp & the hose is so far nice & dry apart from the very bottom where it pushes onto the rad but couldn't get to dry that bit very well so is still a little damp:doh will have another look tomorrow to see if there are any more damp patches or if the coolant level has dropped any:augie

The only sign of mine leaking was the rear bolt on housing was a little damp. But because engine is hotwhen up to temp it was drying befor you could see it so took housing off and hairline cracks around bolt holes

Checked it when the engine was cold:thumbs know the temps got down to 0 to -2'c here the last couple of nights so first thought is the metal has contracted more & with the hose clip not being super tight it has seeped out:augie warm night tonight at 5'c
