Coolant is a vital fluid
Your car’s cooling system is under a massive amount of pressure - literally. While radiator hoses are designed to be tough, they are the most common "weak link" in your cooling system. If you’ve noticed a puddle of neon-colored fluid on your driveway or a sweet, syrupy smell after a drive, your coolant is telling you something, you've got a leak.
Most think hoses only break because they get old. While age is a factor, there are other forces at work. Internally there are tiny particles in old coolant act like sandpaper, wearing down the inside of the hose until it’s paper-thin. We also have the battery effect where electricity flows through your coolant and that electricity weakens the structure of the hoses from the inside. Hoses that are older who are barely hanging on can become swollen.
Remember to never open your radiator while it is hot. The fluid inside is pressurized and is typically 180+ degrees. It will burn you.
