Seems to be alot of coolant leaks posted lately...

I have a few drips under my '92 190e 2.6 that ONLY appear when it is cold out (less than 35deg or so) If it warms up, they go away for a few days until the temp drops again.

They all seem to be happening at hose junctions: Bypass hose on the thermostat side, upper and lower radiator hoses where they connect to the radiator, overflow tank outlet, aux. water pump connection, and somehwere further back under the engine that causes a drip near the ATF pan (heater core connections?)

I have a new (7 months old) water pump, thermostat housing, tensioner etc. So for now I'm taking the water pump out of the equation and focusing on the hoses.

Is this an indication that I just need new hoses? Or should I be looking at another culprit? I have tried tightening the clamps I can get to, but don't want to crank down on them too much..

Any input would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Todd
