Hey everyone, I am pretty new to the forums so please bare with me. I have picked up ownership of my fathers' car and am trying to get a few things taken care of on it.
Had been driving and recently had to top-off my coolant levels, probably every 50 miles which was alarming. Check under hood and there is this hose completely disconnected now and engine smoking.
Was hoping some people here could help me diagnose the issue and find the route to the cheapest fix
Attaching a few pictures under the hood - what you'll see is the hose that is disconnected and where it's supposed to be connected to. What I'm looking for here is the exact issue I'd need to fix. New hose, new connector, or what?
