I just noticed a hose leaking coolant from the drivers left. In the picture it is the thin hose with the clamp with phillips scre head on it. You can see the seperation between the hose and the major connector. Any idea how to fix this or is it major. I did have the AOS replaced about a month ago and know it is on the same side. Any chance the dealer may have done something to get me back in ? I wanted to pull the hose off but wanted to make sure it would be ok first hoping there is a plastic insert that just needs to be replaced.

Just tighten the screw a little more. It should be OK.

That small hose goes to the AOS.

The fitting that the hose goes over is molded into (if I remember right) to the larger hose in the picture that goes from the coolant tank to the water pump, and is also tied into the heater core loop.

The larger hose is a pain to replace since you have drain all the coolant and then refill using a vacuum system.

As long as the clamp is biting on something other than just hose it should be fine.

Based on the pic your clamp looks far enough down on that fitting to grab... just don't overtighten... but certainly you can snug it up.

Only case might be if that fitting is broken or cracked DUE to over tightening (the hose would might break first), in which case you would need to replace that drain hose that goes from the tank to the water pump (with a second tee under the engine that goes to heater core loop).
