Sudden constant coolant smell outside of car...

OK, I'll admit it's my wife's car and I don't pay attention as much as I should.

When she pulls in the garage there is always a bit of coolant smell outside the car. The coolant reservoir is full. Popped the hood and where the hose goes into the radiator it appears to have a very small leak.

I'm going to replace the hoses, 10 years old, I assume replace the clamps as well.

Thanks.

Happy Wife - Happy Life!

Replacing the hoses is a great idea and over due after 10 years! I suggest you have the system "Pressure Tested" as the radiator fluid leaking can come from areas other than the hoses! Shame to replace all those hoses and still have the leakage and smell your Wife can't enjoy.
