I'd bet my left ventricle (i know...) that the leak IS actually the expansion tank, and not the hose. I had the exact same thing happen. Clean it up real good, drive it around, open the hood...and you should be able to see the culprit. That plastic tank and the nipples more specifically, get brittle from that heat. Replace yourself ... $175 plus some new coolant for the loss you'll experience during the swap.

If its a hose..that's better news, wallet wise.

PS, always good form my friend to post a welcome message in the new members section before diving into a question for help. We're here, but we don't like being used like my freshman year college girlfriend. Head over there next, and we hope you stick around.

 

if its leaking from the heater hoses from under the intake then intake has to be lifted not removed.. but it isnt a easy job for a regular person..

 

pretty straight foward.. you can take the intake and throttle assembly straight out.. or just tilt it up.. 10 .. 10mm bolts.. then 3 ..10 mm bolts on either side holding lower throttle to block .. remove camsensor connectors.. andthrottle connections.. remove brake booster line.. push cicle in then pull out.. few other small things..collant pipe 2 8mm bolts. if taking it fully out .. will have to disconnect both fuel lines.. with quick release clips. just becareful at the back of the hoses towards firewall.. connections are brittle..
