So it starts with the reservoir getting replaced because of it being cracked. Bleed the system and drove good and no probs for a month or so...Then thermostat housing cracked started leaking...Replaced all three pieces and bleed the system..This time fan got loud and seemed to never cycle on and off...Now coolant is forcing out where the upper radiator hose joins (tees together)the hose coming from the electric water pump...So now I'm stuck...Friend of mine says to get a new clamp, but I have a feeling thats not goona help..Keep in mind it is not overheating running normal...No missing or anything....2005 Lincoln LS 3.9..Can anyone point me in the right direction???

Well, you could read the threads on here.
You need to replace the upper radiator hose. It's the plastic part in the middle that is leaking. If you are smart and have learned your lesson, you will also replace the lower radiator hose because the plastic part in the middle of it will be the next thing to crack.

seriously bro, I get that reading an entire thread consisting of 6 post can tend to be a little overwhelming as things can get a little wordy, but don't let that get you down, I'm sure if you stick to it, you'll get the hang of the whole reading thing in no time at all...
