WTB radiator Top hose or both if its a set.
 
My leak is where the hose clamp is on my top radiator hose. Anybody got one, oem or aftermarket?

You may be able to just cut off the bad part of the hose and reuse the rest if you have to. They stretch a bit.

I will try that. Does there need to be much slack for movement?

As long as it's not going to pull itself loose or tear again, you'll get away with it. I had to cut mine up when I went to a Koyo radiator, so the hose itself won't leak 'cause you hacked of 1/2".

But if the leak is in a place that means you'll be stretching things a bit too much, you're better off grabbing one from Kragen or something.

I was able to make it work, I just slid the hose up closer to the radiator and then slid the clamp back a little closing off the slit.

You can go to Autozone/Kragen/NAPA, they have a universal-fit part typically on hand that is trim-to-fit.

Not to mention the fact that they take all of 15 min. to replace.

I remember getting to an autocross one morning and after I registered I walked over to my car only to see a large stream of coolant coming from underneath. So I drove down to Kragen, replaced both hoses in the parking lot, and I still made it in time for the morning run group.

Gotta love the DSMs.

Myself and Sybir changed one in a parking lot on my Legacy ;)
