Need Help Radiator Hose

Hey i'm new to the forum and well I need some help.
My 94 Camaro V6 has a problem. The problem is that the Radiator keeps on realeasing the bottom water hose. I drive it for a while and when i stop the car there is a lot of water. Could it be that my radiator is cloth? How can i check if my radiator is still good? Also is the bottom hose the one that takes the water from the motor to the radiator?

Re: Need Help Radiator Hose

i have a 3.8L, my bottom hose runs water to the block.
cooling system is no thing to mess with, you can have bad consequences if its not running right, its very important! dont ever overheat it!
You can always get the radiator pressure tested at a shop...
I would definately find out where the leak is coming from, and make sure the hose is clamped up GOOD. They also have those UV dyes, that you can spot where the leak is coming from.
Cant really help you without seeing it.

Re: Need Help Radiator Hose

the hose shouldnt come loose there should be a clamp on it if its not there put one on. and you shouldnt have water in the radiator you should have coolant preferably a mix of 50/50 coolant/distilled water. and no your radiator isnt clotgh if it was it wouldnt hold coolant.
