Jeep leaking coolant

[Spence]

Lately whenever I park my car after taking a drive I have had coolant (I think) making a puddle under my jeep. It stops after a few minutes and when I turn the car on I can't see anything leaking. The coolant is sprayed all over the engine bay and it looks like one of the big hoses in bubbled out near the front of the motor.

Anyone want to chime in to tell me whats up or take a look at it?

I'd replace the hose that has a bubble in it, it's cheap enough.

Replace hose. Maybe replace the t-stat while you're at it.

So the bubble is why its leaking? I just don't want to deal with a mess of coolant everywhere whenever I park my car. Could pressure cause the bubble or what?

My temps are perfect fwiw

Would you guys recommend flushing my rad?

It's hard to say, but if it's bubbling, it could be cracked as well. A new hose is cheap and easy to replace, it's just a good place to start.

Replace the hose, flush your coolant, and refill. You may as well replace the other hoses and T-stat as well. You'll thank yourself later.

Pay close attn. to the back of the water pump pulley also wiggle the fan to check 4 play. I have seen many cases where the bearing in the pump goes bad and will only leak when under pressure and moving. Coolant doesn't evaporate though so there will be evidence around the pulley. I do hope it's just a hose though 4 money's sake. I would take the advice of the other guys though it's ALWAYS a good idea to change your Tstat whenever you have any type of cooling system condition. A lot of people just don't realize how important that little $8 part really is especially if you have EFI.

WOW We dont see that at all, LOL, Wait I just did that to jeep now no more coolant leak, For now it is a jeep 4.0, Thay leak from the factory! LOL

maybe from the weep hole its on the bottom of the water pump.

but you said that it is spraying all over the engine bay that would probablly be because it might be hitting the fan and spreading all over the place

The hose shouldn't have a bubble in it. The bubble means there is a weak spot there and your hose is about to blow. I would change that hose out immediately or you might find yourself stuck on the side of the road.
