Radiator fluid leak
 

Well, I'm not getting discouraged yet, but last week I had a dead battery. It was old and it's time to go. So I got that changed. Started her up and went for a short drive. Got home and backed into the garage. I came out the next morning and there is green fluid on the ground under the car. :( I got a chance to pull the car over the pit in my garage and when I looked to see where it was leaking and as best as I could determine it was leaking from the engine hose that goes into the block. The coolant level was a little low, so I filled it up to the full hot level. I was relieved at that point that I had found the problem, but my curiosity decided to let the car run and see if it was leaking. I let it sit and idle for 20 minutes. No leak. Hmmmmmmm? Ok, then I took it for a drive for about 30 minutes. Checked it again. No leak. Parked it overnight and checked it again this morning. No leak. Suggestions??

I have the GM (Helms) manual and the hose that is leaking is called the engine hose. I plan on changing the hose and probably some other ones as well. Does anyone have any experience with this? Where can I get replacement hoses? How hard will this be to do? I am a novice when it comes to working on cars. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Thanks in advance!
