I figured i could just cut it. seeing as its leaking close to the edge where the hose clamp is. I just wanna know if there is a more practical thing to do so all my hoses arent all cut up and lookin janky.

I'm assuming we're talking about the upper rad hose, if so just replace it. It's a hose that cost around $15 at the most and its location is not to hard to just replace.

Just make sure to replace the coolant you lost; by opening your breather screw and filling till it comes out of there.

i dont see any harm in cutting the hose, use a razor or a really sharp knife so you get a straight cut.
