For a quick fix you can just clamp off the hoses. This is what I was told to do by my mechanic when I had a similar coolant sauna explosion. He told me to take two vice grip pliers in the needle-nose shape, and clamp one onto each hose. I did, and it worked. This will at least get you to a mechanic who won't rip you off. Doug |
