Possible loose hose clamp causing slow water leak

You may have a slow water leak.... and not even know it.

 

This slow leak can only be seen when the fuel tank has been removed because of its location.

 

The water hose clamp I found leaking is located just above the right hand side engine dog bone.

 

The leak will appear as a white powdery substance on the rubber hose, or on the hose clamp.

You may even notice a spot or two on the TOP of the rear valve cover located on the right side front jug. Look carefully because it looks like dirt.

I was able to turn the clamp tightening screw about 6 turns before it finally became tight on the hose.

 

NOTE: Do not over tighten the hose clamp where it cuts into the rubber hose.

 

I enclosed this picture to help you see what it will look like.
