So I recently did my oil change on the car. I noticed that coolant was leaking from one of my hoses so I fixed that this Friday. Went to work today and noticed that I was still leaking coolant but I have no idea from where? Could it be my thermostat housing? Thermostat itself or my water pump or just a hose? Or should I just change all the hoses and thermostat and water pump?

There are so many points in that area that it could be, so it’s tough to tell from pics. I’d suggest a coolant pressure tester. You can buy em almost anywhere now, possibly rent too(?). It’s extremely helpful in situations like yours.
 
You got a lot of crusty hoses and clamps. Replace them
Ok sounds good!

I’ll give that a try thanks for the feedback

Should I get special silicone hoses or will regular rubber hoses do just fine?
