are you sure it's not just water??

 

It took me 4 times reading your question before I totally understood what you were trying to ask.

Have you looked to see where the leak starts? That's where you need to start. Nobody here can tell you your problem with what you've asked. Since you did recently replace a hose, I'd start with where you've tightened the hose. Look there first, and go from there.

 

it might water, you need to find exactly where it's leaking from, let us know

 

you need to work on some basic grammar first. im with you, 1gplussh, had to reread this before i could understand any bit of it.

 

that water might be the A/C?

It was the color of the coolant that you put in pinkish oil? That makes absolutely no sense unless you put the coolant in pinkish oil.

What color is the coolant that you put in your car? If it's pink, I haven't seen it before. The closest thing I can think of that is pink is ATF. Do you happen to have an automatic or an SH model? If not, I guess that rules out ATF.

Did you ever look to see where the leak starts? Wipe down everything, and let us know. This is definitely my last reply.

 

im lost here pinkish fluid

 

Most likely you've got a small hole or a slightly loose clamp somewhere, so it only leaks when it's hot/pressurized. When you drive for a while, leave the car running and see if you can locate where it is coming from (don't touch the moving thingies ).

For the sake of all that is holy and good; could you please at least type in complete words, maybe a few complete sentences every now and again?

i drive an auto and yea i dink my coolant was mixed in with a pink one. i also found the leak. it is coming from the coolant house(located under the car near the oil filter). it is leaking from the top end and bottom end im probably going to bring it to a mechanic to tighten it
