Thank goodness, it was just a loose hose clamp on the plastic coolant expansion tank.
Back to service and racking up more miles.

Nope, that was not it. It has one more area leaking coolant.
The plastic fitting that goes to the heater core is also leaking.
I just replaced both when I replaced all the hoses.
Well, I guess poor quality coolant fitting from China?

It's parked again for repair.

I had to argue with mine (04 Burb) for about a month to get the leak to stop. The rings inside wouldn't seat right. Make sure there is only 1 in there.

Haha. Was it hard to pull the plastic tee fitting?
