OK this is wierd....I had a leak from my lower radiator hose at the block. I replaced the hose and refilled the coolant.....before I even started the jeep, I saw it leaking again.....drained it again and checked the clamps and fitting of the hose...seemed fine. I have removed the hose/clamp a couple times now and it continues to leak. I cannot see what the problem is. I can't see anywhere else the water would be coming from, but it's wierd that it would be leaking from a clamped hose without even having the engine on and the only pressure the water has is gravity. if anyone has any advice....PLEASE let me know. Thanks

actually nevermind.....a friend just emailed me a site that explained it. It is actually the water pump about to go out. the jeep waterpumps have a warning system, it has a small hole that allows a leak once the seal is no longer intact. it just so happens to leak right on the lower radiator hose so it looks like thats where it comes from......heres a link with more info.

That is a really easy job, just did mine this summer. Make sure there is an "R" on the fins of the one you buy. They have a reverse spin on the fan.
