Hey guys!
Did some searching and didn't come across any answers. I've been chasing coolant leaks in my 1.9 AAZ sidekick swap and I think I'm finally down to the last one. The tee in the water pump return (from the water neck down to a tee which goes to the oil cooler and returns to the water pump.) Looks like it only leaks under pressure so I would assume something is up with the tee or the hoses are done. Is this a common spot to leak? And I wonder if its caused more by the steels bands stretching over time and can be fixed by cutting the bands and putting hose clamps or should I tear everything off and replace it with silicone hoses and a brass tee?
