Default small leak under the coolant reservoir

greetings! i noticed i have a leak from the hose to the coolant resevoir and it look like it leaks only when there is a pressure already. i checked the clamp that holds the hose to the reservoir and look good and tight enough i noticed it leak only between the hose and reservoir.Ill try to check it if there is crack from the lip of the reservoir or maybe because of the hose since the rubber hose are still the original? maybe its already briitle? any encounter? thanks a lot guys.

The bottles tend to crack as well.

+1 to Tech. I had to replace mine once. I would buy one from FCP Groton. If the hose is original, I would replace all cooling system rubber hoses but this is just me.

I agree. Also, don't try to repair the bottle if it is cracked. I have seen a couple folks try that and it never holds up.
