So it looks like the upper hose is not really an issue per se, as I think it was just constructed like that with the cross hatch visible, but the hose clamp looks to not be on correctly, and the coolant is leaking now. I drove it around a bunch yesterday, and today with no issues, but then at my friends house while idling I smelled coolant, and then found a puddle under the van. The upper hose seemed empty, so we let it cool down, and refilled it, and the reservoir with some fresh water. Looks like once it has cooled I will do some investigating, and see if its just the clamp, or if I can find a suitable replacement hose.
I replaced my rad hoses with OEM hoses, you don't see the skeleton on the new hoses.
I am going to replace the hose asap. I spoke with Craig at Bonsai Rides and he says I can get a hose at my local Napa store. I ordered the one he said, but in the meantime I removed the factory clamp and put a new clamp on there. Took it around the block and it doesn't leak anymore.

Got my Delica Mitsumaple, and club sticker in the mail on Friday. Wasn't sure where to put either one, but decided the Mitsumaple would go on the upper right rear window as I live in the Northeast.

Whoa ~ whose looking pretty now!
Hope you don't get any angst over flying Canadian colours in Boston of all places. Better stick a Bruins decal near by... maybe just underneath 
Seriously 'though, looking good, Chris.

I just hope it's okay for this non-Canadian to be flying the maple leaf(I hope so I love the logo). Well with this winter we may as well be Canada anyway. Truthfully I would rather live in Canada than here anyway. People seem nicer up there. I noticed in the pic you can see my Bruins cell phone case reflection in the window, and the Bruins toque on my head. How can I just attach the pic to my post rather than the link? I tried, but it was telling me the photo was too big.

Ah, one opens the "post a reply" window and in the tool bar that lays across the writing field, there is one button that is "Img". When you click on that button you'll see this appear: [ url][/url]. Then you take the URL of your Photobucket image: http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w51 ... rbpgzv.jpg and insert it between the Img brackets as such:
[ img]http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w51 ... rbpgzv.jpg[/img] .
The only other thing you need to be concerned with is the size of your image, which is 960 pixels wide by 900 pixels high or less. In your case you would need to reduce the size of your image accordingly, which I understand you can do with Photo Bucket. Same goes with putting the image into the post as an attachment, I believe it's 800 KB if memory serves me.
The reason we do this is to keep images at a manageable size. It also allows pages to open faster, especially for members with slow connexions.
Regarding the Mitsumaple, it was created by a Brit, who goes by the name Mystery Machine on this site (emanating from mdocuk.co.uk). Very clever, really ~ when you look at it it's a very simple idea ~ half Mitsu emblem, half Maple Leaf = Delica Canada. Yet who would think of it? Bit of genius, really.
Regarding Americans and Canadians, I suppose we've had our differences over the years but really I miss the longest unprotected border in the world. I've noticed that a lot of the people I see walking around the Greater Vancouver Regional District avoid eye contact with strangers and generally give me the look of fear. Not how I remember the "good old days", if ever such a thing existed outside our memories. I've met some wonderful Americans and I've met some surly ones, as well. I'm sure the snow in Canada is just as dirty as the snow in the US.
If you're ever up in the neighbourhood, drop me a line and we can go for a beer, eh?
Falco.
P.S.: I have just noticed the last line of your post and realise that you understand how to load an image. I thought it was a bit queer that you didn't know that, my bad. I'm leaving the direction up for the benefit of others.
