Coolant hose popped off
Hey guys on the upper radiator hose the hose that attaches to the bottom popped off yesterday. I pulled out the c clip re attached it. I pulled on t to make sure it was on there good. I topped it off with distilled water but this morning I looked and saw some water under the car so I checked and hose was still on but coolant was low again. I put in more distilled water.
It seems to be fine right now but is that normal to have to top it off again? Also please note I did not run the car very long after i originally topped it off with about 1 gallon of distilled water. Should I let it cycle through getting to operating temperature and re top off? |

Top it off and warm up good then refill as needed once cooled down then just keep a close eye on it.
You don't need to worry about low coolant so much as the car will throw a CEL code if it's needed. |

Thanks I'm just about to go in a 3 hour drive so I want to make sure I'm good before I venture out. I warmed it seemed fine just smoking off some of the coolant still there. I'll let it cool down top off and hope I don't need to use aaa
