My radiator hose cracked today. Now its leaking anti-freeze from a little hole in the hose right near where it is clamped on at the engine side. iI am going to get a new hose, but I was wondering if there was anything else I should replace or check. When I take the hose off will I be bathing in antifreeze? any tips on doing this? This is the 2nd time this hose has cracked. Last time, I cut off the end where it split and clamped it on again. Lasted a year.

replace all the hoses.
drain coolant 1st b4 you pull them out.
good idea to get new hose clamps too.
don't forget to change the short hose by the water pump too.
IMO i go w/ OEM hoses.
