        Uhhh...cure for the "clap" is penicillin.

        Cure for leaks under hose clamps is generally replacement of
        hose IF it's a spring clamp, as opposed to a screw clamp which
        **may** have some tighter adjustment possible...

        Having struggled with the removal/replacement of one of the
        extremely short hoses supplying coolant to the oil cooler,
        I have a definite preference for the screw clamp...
