I've got a puncture in one of my radiator hoses and its really hard to get to. Replacing the hose would involve removing the intake manifold and then pulling the engine I think. Wondering if there is any sort of sealant or some kind of plug to stop the leak. It doesn't leak while driving, but does when I turn the car off. Sometimes it sprays out pretty bad. LMK, thanks...

I dont think you need to remove much man. Take a picture and post it.

Upper hose or lower hose?

yeah, take a picture. and i can tell you how to get to the intake mani, or how i got there. ive had a crazy problem with my coolant before, i had rusty coolant and it rusted through my intake manifold, it f'ed up my engine pretty bad. holes here and there. i eventually used some jb welt to patch it up and ran some 'stop leak' stuff from kragen. it worked... for about a few months now. got any more details ?
