NOTE: Often, fluid such as oil, power steering fluid,
and brake fluid are used during assembly plant opera-
tions to facilitate the assembly of hoses to couplings.
Therefore, oil wetness at the hose-coupling area is not
necessarily an indication of leakage.Actual dripping of
hot fluid when systems are under pressure (during
vehicle operation), should be noted before hose is re-
placedbasedonleakage.
