heater hose question
My 86 300sl I read had a waterpump replaced awhile ago and I recently found a water leak. By the oil filter housing there are two hoses, one going into the firewall and the other is just capped off. The one that was capped off was leaking due to dry rott. I put a new rubber cap on it and it stopped the leak. My question is where should the capped off hose be connected? My paper work stated that the waterpump had to be "modified" to fit the European motor but my mechanic said there's no difference in the two. Car's not running hot.

Engine, I hadn't really tried the heater yet, being in Florida. Thanks.

sounds like the heater hose circuit was removed, the one into the firewall carries the hot coolant to the heater core, the other supplies the heated coolant via the pump network. the engine does not get hot because the coolant is still circulating in engine through radiator. Depending where the one going into the firewall is terminated the other may be the line to the water pump or to the engine return . there should be two lines at the fire wall, one in one out
