Message	lower rad hose upgrade: Check your clamp tightness in addition to checking your fuel lines! I tightened my fuel line clamps two weeks ago, but we have had a cold snap lately. Couldn't figure out why I was getting small coolant puddles here and there where I parked the Z. Wouldn't always happen, only if I let the car warm up to operating temp when parked. Turns out coolant was leaking out my upper clamp on the aluminum lower rad hose. Got underneath in -18 C weather on Sunday and saw a nice dribble of coolant/water dripping down the hose below the upper clamp. Tightened that clamp and checked my lower clamp. Lots of driving and parking today, and no leaks. Regards, vorpalZ                  1990 TT The 300ZX Turbo is a dance; it's a song; it's rolling, roaring automotive art.
