Traced a cooling system leak on my son's 82 GLT to a hose (3/8")running to the turbo. This is an upgrade to watercooling and the "kit" consisted of pieces to splice into the exsisting radiator hoses that spliced in the 3/8 hoses to/from the turbo. The only thing I was able to get was a hose made by Gates that is marked as fuel line hose(multifuel compatibility). It is what I used at the time of the upgrade to the watercooled turbo and it has only lasted 20,000 miles os so. I don't mind changing it out that often if necessary but was wondering if anyone had a suggestion for something designed for the high heat application. Thanks.

Randy
