    New Radiator hose oozing

    I've got a strange issue with a new hose I've fitted. It seems to be oozing coolant from the end of the home through the hose itself rather than a drip/leak. I've secured with jubilee clips.

    Have I got a faulty hose or tightened it too much? Seems to be happening at all ends.

    Are you sure it's coolant? It looks too "muddy" for coolant! I don't know how they manufacture the hoses, but maybe?? a manufacturing residue for the layers or rubber and reinforcing???

    No, it's the tiny red dots on the end of the hose (where they join the elbow) underneath is worse I just cant photo it.

    The brown stuff is mud

    If it's seeping through the webbing as per the photo I would normally call it as being a faulty hose.

    I just replaced my TD5 top rad hose with a new genuine one for the same reason.

    Did you use a new Genuine LR hose? or aftermarket?

    faulty hose. Inner liner is damaged / faulty and the coolant is leaking up the inner webbing.
