    try 1/3 coolant and 2/3 distilled water when you fill her up, also try a bit of water wetter if that doesn't do it.

    Old 2002 trick (those things don't cool that well)

              Im far from a tech., but something had to of caused that hose to blow, correct? Hopefully not excessive pressure in the cooling system, by way of a cylinder.

                Im thinking one of 2 things:

                1: The hose didnt completely explode. The inner part of the upper hose on the radiator side had deteriorated it seems like. It doesnt look like it all happened at once. Since ive had the car ~2.5 years, I havent changed out those hoses so they could just be old. Also, I have been losing coolant for about a month but it wasnt excessive to where if my car was parked that there would be a puddle. There would be no drips or anything which leads me to believe that the hose has been deteriorating and letting some coolant escape little by little.

                2: I also havent replaced the radiator since Ive had the car either. This makes me think that its just way to old and clogged with manifold scalings etc that its not flowing correctly causeing coolant build up in the upper hose.
