Loosing coolant fast. Know it’s gotta be hoses. But bad old hoses replaced with aluminum hoses about 4 years ago, soooo… ---

If it’s loosing coolant that fast, should be easy to find leak. Some one is going to have to get underneath and look. ---

> [@Gretchen06](#): > > Know it’s gotta be hoses No, you don’t KNOW it is hoses until you actually see the coolant leak from a hose. Never assume the answer to the problem. It will not lead you to a solution. It could be a head gasket leak or a cracked head or block. There is no such thing as an aluminum “hose.” That would be a “pipe” or “tube.” Aluminum is rigid, hoses are not. If a length of hose was replaced by an aluminum pipe, the pipe would crack from vibration and movement. Normally short lengths of hose on each end would allow flex. Check there.
