well i was driving my mtx sho when i started seeing smoke being blown though my head lights. i pop the hood to see antifreeze all over the place and hitting the exhaust. well i figured that it was just the upper hose so i replaced it and it is still leaking. would anyone happen to have an idea what else could be leaking from that area?

thanx corey.

There is a "U" coolant hose that comes out of the block and right back into the oil "cooler" that is located under the oil filter.

I have a 1991 mtx and I have had to replace most the coolant hoses due to leak after leak after leak, now that I fixed all the hose leaks the radiator decided to leak, funny thing is the radiator leaks only when under pressure at speed, I never see the coolant leak on the ground but I see coolant seeping around the driver side rad tank, look into your sho and squeeze all the coolant hoses you see, if any of them are soft chuck em, thet will split and leak, and its ok to curse due to tight space the hoses are located, we all curse them sho hoses

Check behind the block, by the oil pressure sensor on the drivers side, where there is a hose coming off running to the heater core. These a prone to leak. Also, you need to check the "lower" coolant hose and waterpump. I don't see how the "upper" hose would leak on the exhaust.
