I've got a small coolant leak on the left side if the engine and I suspect it's coming from the radiator hoses. I'd like to attempt to fix this, but I need to know what has to be removed, in what order, to get in to the radiators. There doesn't seem to be a "how-to" dealing with this issue but maybe someone here can point me to an appropriate tutorial?
Thanks!

Re: Coolant leak
The, "how to change your timing belts" advice is very good. In order to change the timing belts easily, it is best to remove a couple of coolant hoses, so you can use this section to show you what plastic needs to be removed to access the hoses and how to do it.
