You will have to drain the PS reservoir to change the hose.

A good way to pinpoint the coolant leak is to pressurize the cooling system with a pressure tester.

Im gonna take the rig to a local shop that has the ability to do that..My reservoir tank looks like absolute crude on the inside and was going to get replaced when I do the whole cooling system. Im going to have them to a complete flush of the system to hopefully get that crude out of there and while they're there do the pressure test. Thanks for all of the help guys its really appreciated
