So, the low coolant light on the 05 Five Hundred has been coming on and off. The reservoir was low so added coolant 5-7 days or so ago. Wife was using it to drive to Randolph for work last week while I did the driver side rocker panel. Noticed the light was back on/off yesterday. I had noticed when I did the oil change it looks damp under the water pump like it might be starting to leak. Before I left for work this morning I added more coolant to the reservoir. I here what sounded like a stream of water running. Look under it and see it streaming coolant out. There is a metal pipe that connects the rubber hose from the reservoir and connects the other rubber hose to the water pump. There is another hose that comes off it also. Well were the plastic clamp goes around it and secures it to the top of the subframe, rusted in the spot of the plastic clamp. Damn lucky it didn't let go when she was driving or when we were away from home. New one should be in tomorrow for me to change it out. I did rear wheel bearing in it last night because the driver side rear was going bad. Much quieter and smoother now.
