chupa, replace the thermostat cover that that hose clamp to, and replace the thermostat while you have it off, but pop off the little ck ball on the top with pliers. It creates a vacuum on that hose when cooling down and sucks the hose off and the ribs on the cover wear down, you may want to replace that lower hose too if original
