Need Help! - 76’ MInnie Winnie Coolant leak on the road

[phillipsac]

Need help. I’m on the road in Nevada, almost to my brothers place in CA from NC where I came from.

I started noticing a new sputtering on hills, making me pull over twice. Now stopping a third time I am seeing a huge coolant leak (video included)

It’s mainly from a tube connection area underneath the engine on the middle / passenger side right up front.

I don’t know what it means or needs. Any help would be appreciated! I have plenty of coolant on hand and am at a gas station.

Realized I can’t upload pics?

Could try some pepper until you get to a repair shop, sometimes the pepper will plug the hole, not a fix, but will get you to a repair shop hopefully.

Pics yet? From what you said... middle, passenger side and up front... I'm thinking heater hose or bypass hose for the thermostat and/or waterpump.

If that's the case its 5/8" hose I think. I replaced mine when I bought it. The bypass hose still had the factory pliers-type clamp on. When I put the pliers to it, it literally disentigrated.
