Coolant overflow line; leaking?
A few days ago I had created this thread: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=2192005
Basically I was concerned because I started to notice large air bubbles being returned to my coolant reservoir. I haven't run the car since then, and today I went to take a look under the hood to find that my reservoir level has dropped almost and inch and coolant is puddling around the lid at the base of the coolant line connection. I had noticed this little bit of puddling before but didn't pay any mind to it. Is this line not sealing, and could that be how I'm getting air into the coolant system? If so, can I just throw a clamp on it or should I go ahead and replace the line?

Like I say, if it ain't broke don't fix it. I think its broke. I would fix it. (replace the line). I don't play with coolant system. If it even looks like its bad. I change it. See what happens when you change it. Nothing worse could happen. I hope
