I have a very small coolant leak in my Saturn. The Saturn is a 2001 L 100 four banger. It looks like it is leaking where the heater hose connects to the firewall. There is not a hose clamp but some type of odd push connector there. I looked at at Rock Auto but it does not had the connector. it has just the hose. Any Suggestions?

Well since its at the firewall just remove the connector and push the hose over the pipe and clamp it.

I've tried finding the connectors you need, but there's not much information on the internet about them. This very thread is one of the main search results on Google. When you start digging into it, I think you're gonna find something like this:

MTD440 thank you so much. I found the YouTube video on the last link. It shows the problem I'm having and how to fix it. Thank you, I would have never found it on my own.
