That power steering return hose...don't forget about it. It's still there...looking at me. Taunting me...

🙂 I know you'll fix it when you get round to it, but I can't help looking at it every time I see the engine bay pics...

Lol, it's already fixed. Your memory of the temporary line is fogging your brain.

Thanks man, slowly but surely. It's hot in my garage, even with a fan on it's still 85° and 70% humidity so I'm sweating.
I started putting coolant in and noticed drips coming from the upper hose arrrrgh!!!!! There is a possibility the ID of the hose is a smidge too big and the clamps aren't getting tight enough. There isn't a "direct fit" for my application so I might be running to the parts store in the AM to get a hose with smaller ID.

Tomorrow is Cutlass day? Cool! We have to take our new child in for her procedure in the morning so, since we will be having 105-110 windchill here, if I am fortunate enough to be vertical, I think I'll fire up the AC in the shop and try to accomplish something while I'm worrying, I mean, waiting on Buffy to get out of recovery.

Wait, what's going on tomorrow? What did you say?

Love the pooches !!!!

Right?!?! So much for being excited about pouring fresh coolant in, just to see it dripping 😡!!!

How much larger are the hoses than the fittings?
