Hello all, I noticed my '09 Murano was leaking coolant. After some inspection today I found it to be leaking from a hose leading into the throttle body. Anybody else have this problem? How's the fix? I'm not the most experienced with working on cars. Below are links to images of what I'm talking about.

The fix of course will be to change the hose.

Myself, upon removing it if the rubber was still pretty live and no cracking in it, I would likely supplant that fix by simply using a worm drive clamp instead of changing the hose. That OEM type clamp self adjusts but only lightly and cannot really seal an older hose as well as a worm drive clamp.

Assuming of course the hose is not cracked right next to the clamp.

That is one of hundreds of typical fixes that taken to dealer can cost you a couple hundred quicker than spit depending on where the other end of that hose goes, I fix them all day long for maybe 50 cents.
