2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Lower Radiator Hose - Hose clamp

 I have a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee that developed a slow water leak.

It seemed to be like this leak here:

Here is the discussion about this specific video

As a quick fix I put a hose clamp next to the existing clamp:

Now this would have been right on the "nipple" of the radiator. So I did not put it on very tight.  It was enough for me to do a 200 mile trip with no leakage - probably would have gone for longer.

To replace the clamp I made sure there was no pressure in the system, in fact took the radiator cap off and then back on to create a slight vacuum if it did leak.  Went to take the clamp off and it broke - had to use a Dremel to CAREFULLY cut part of the clamp and then it came off.  You can see were it was broken - it was not completely broken on the car, but was enough to release pressure.

I put the screw hose clamp on where the old clam was.  Later when I go to change the antifreeze I will probably change the hose.

I will be reporting this as if it had happened on a hot day I would probably have lost all the fluid and maybe the hose would have come off the radiator.

If you see a leak here, by leaving the cap loose so no pressure would build up, and continually filling it, you might be able to limp it to a repair shop.
