my heater hose came apart recently and rather than spending the $600 the guy wanted to fix it i put a hose connector in the pipe and put 2 hose clamps holding it, and it held up but just earlier today i smelt coolant while i was driving and checked it out and its leaking again. the heater hose is still held together by the 2 hose clamps, and i cant tell where its leaking from because it sprays instead of drips so everything is covered with coolant. i started it and let it idle for a little and watched for any drips but it only leaks when im driving it. so i was wondering if anyone knows of a website where i could find a 96 v6 3.8L engine diagram that shows where the coolant travels through so i could check it out piece by piece. any help would be awesome, thanks.

 

Depends on what engine your 96 has. If its an LT1 - Shoebox has the best site for LT1 info on the planet.
