    Odd coolant leak?

    Ok, the other day I stopped to get somthing to eat and when i came out i noticed a puddle of coolant. So i lay down and its dripping off the front of the bell housing. SO i pop the hood and look near the firewall and the 2 hoses by the brake booster are fine but the one that goes in RIGHT behind the head looks wet under it. (It may have been coolant, oil or somthing else) So i get the car to where my tools are and inspect furthur. I didnt see anything espically suspicious. SO i start the car to see if it will leak again. NOTHING!!! The leak is TOTALLY GONE. Its been 2 days now. I keep checking my coolant level to make sure its ok and it is. BUT now when im sitting at idle the car heats up pretty rapidly. Dont know why. HELP.

    there is a pipe that comes out of the back of the head. Remove the hose clamp, cut the used portion of hose off, put the hose back on, and reclamp it.

      Will do, I just ordered new hoses anyway, since my car is in BAD need of a tune up.
