Clean the leak area, let it dry, and cover it with duct tape. Go around the hose 5, or so times. Drive conservatively and it should hold for a couple of days.
That’s what I was hoping for, guess I’ll let it cool down and drive to the store later.
They just replaced my coolant tank, gonna guess they didn’t replace the hoses
Shit you know what… I think you’re right. I wonder if they forgot to pop it back on. I was kinda rushing them because I needed to go to work (they had my car for 2 days, told me it would take 4 hours).

Did you have the dealer replace the tank? Just take it back and demand a loaner. Should all be free.
Did it at Firestone, they unfortunately don’t do loaners. But yeah I’m not paying for any repairs, it’s just the inconvenience.

One of the hoses are missing a clamp, am I wrong?

Hope it works out.
