740GLE Heater hose leaking 700

posted by  someone claiming to be rwreagan on  Sat Jul 17 08:14 CST 2004 [RELATED]

1990 740GLE has a coolant leak in the heater hose fitting. There are two heater hoses coming out from the firewall. The lower hose comes straight out from the firewall and makes an immediate ninety degree turn straight down. Just a few inches from the turn the hose plugs into some sort of fitting. I wasn't able to get a very good view because of the engine parts around and above the fitting, but there's major coolant seepage from the fitting at the end of the hose.

I'm wondering if this is the water valve mentioned in the FAQ or something else. What will it take for me to fix this coolant leak, including which parts and labor procedures?

As always, thanks to all brickboardsters for sharing their knowledge and experiences.
