    so I take the van to the car wash last night because it's been about 2 years since she's had a bath, and while I'm standing there putting the money into the coin  operated self serve car wash  ....all of the sudden I start  hearing some water spraying from my van , I look over and water is pissing from the bottom of the van straight down  ......I'm thinking oh nooo...I am going to need a radiator  .....after it stopped leaking I opened up the dog house to find a tiny little leak on the underside of the heater hose that connects to the thermostat housing,   whew....no big deal , funny, it was like the van wanted to spray back at the car wash ...so I pull the hose off and cut a piece off and put it back on the thermostat housing,  why is that connection for the hose there  two different diameters  .....it's like the shape of   a thread spool or something  .....seems like it will just pinch a small hole there again ?......
