#1 of 1 Engine Compartment question by denice1 Feb 01, 2009 (2:04 pm)
While trying to change the engine air filter in my Rendezvous, I couldn't get the duct off as it says in the manual, so I made the mistake of loosening an adjacent rubber hose to get it out of the way so I could take off the air filter cover. Big mistake, fluid gushed out of the hose and I don't know what it is. It doesn't smell like gasoline, and seems too runny to be oil. Didn't have much of a smell, the color was dark yellow-ish. The hose is about 1-1/2 inch diameter and is just to the left of the engine air filter compartment. Is this radiator fluid? Denice1
