so last time i fill up with gas i notice that my reserve tank is a little low on antifreeze, this time i start up my car and was chekcing something else under the hood and notice that both pipes (upper/lower) were leaking where they were connected at the radiator and block. I have those wierd stock compression clamps, i tightened them up and everything was fine. It also stops when the car warms up. Whats the deal with that? Should i replace all the clamps with the screw-type? Sorry for the long story (97 civic lx). Thanks.

 

If you can replace the hoses and the clamps, otherwise, just the clamps.

 

replace both those hoses and yes you can use the screw on type hose clamps

 

The hoses are really easy to replace. I would just change them and get some better clamps.
