Message	I switched to silicone hoses. I have removed the hard pipe and silicone couplers from the radiator. That helped, but still get the smell like its leaking at times. But I did replace the heater core hoses as well with silicone hoses a while back, they are still installed. I will go back to rubber oem hoses when I get around to it.
