Re: How to repair pin hole leak on a150259 braided hose
Use a male-male connector for the size inside diameter, cut the hose with the proper cutters, insert the male-male connector and put mini-clamp hose clamps on each side and tighten them.

consider topping up fluids, driving at night [ easier to inspect than in daylight ] untill engine heats up stop,
open hood and use bright flashlight to inspect. may just be pin hole in hoses or loose clamps. look at overflow
expansion tank return for leaks to ensure overflow tank is higher up when engine temperature is up.
Heater hose connecton to heater core pipe is defective. Remove hose and inspect the tube to make sure it is round and ok. Replace with new hose. It possibly may be a pin hole in the tube which would have to be repaired by replacing the heater core.
check for a pin hole around a hose clamp will be visable when engine is warm and under pressure. so have some one push lightly on accelerator pedal while looking at hoses and clamps look for a small hose as hell front center of motor area below where the carb would be there might be a small hole there
Will need a new hose, but a quick TEMPORARY repair may be done using a puncture repair outfit, if only a pin size hole. Only carry out work on a cold unpressureised system Pay attension to clenliness in the repair area. Reinforce with electrical tape (PVC) as the system opperates at 1 Bar. Be aware of the danger of scalding and do not open the bonnet (Hood) again untill the engine has cooled down to replace the hose. Replace hose ASAP
i would check the clamps on the hoses ,and also for pin holes around radiator,if pin hole is located you can purchase some radiator stop leak at your local part store good luck
The hose must be a heater core hose. Change it & have your cooling system pressure tested. This will give you an idea if there are any other leaks in the system. You may have a head gasket leak & this test will determine your next step. Fill the rad or change the head gaskets or repair whatever leak there is. Hope this helps you. GOOD LUCK!
Most likely the braided fuel hose,from the steel line to the flex, has rusted at the connection. That hose won't be avail at the dealer. You will have to remove at the fuel rail and where it is leaking, and make up your own.
Problem is finding the push-on connectors,not having braided hose and heat issues.
