This is false information. There is zero need to remove the wiper tray. This person is probably regurgitating whatever false info the stealership gave him all over this nice thread
Huh? Lucky you didn't do that. How will that help? You need a high temp silicone hose there. I already posted the solution if you had read the thread. You only need to remove the intake manifold to replace the coolant hose, lol. Lucky you didn't pay for that. I wouldn't want the stealership...
That's illegal. Good luck getting an update from GDE now that the EPA is up their ass! That won't help your coolant hose which is what this topic is about
If you are going to try carbon conductive paste, you should use a non-migrating paste like this:

The hose has banjos on the ends. You need to remove the old hose and clamp a new hose onto the hose ends. I don't remember the hose ID. Regular silicon coolant hose is probably fine but I would get something quality. The higher the temp rating, the better.
Yes. The coolant will be leaking down the back of the engine on the drivers side. The flow will increase when you increase engine speed. Remove the drivers fender liner and have someone rev the engine while you look in there
