I have a coolant leak from top of my radiator, driver side. The first picture with the blue circle is where it would accumulate. Truck is a 2014 Volvo with d13. The first picture shows where it would accumulate. I am loosing about 2 litres every 700 miles. Took it to a mechanic and he did pressure test and after a hard time said a hose was leaking. Hose replaced and leak is still there.
Today, I washed the engine compartment and idled the truck for upto 2 hours and found coolant accumulating in the area that is circled (within one of those squares). Seems like it leaks more when under load. Is there a product I can use for temporary fix?
Any other suggestions?

That large black hose doesn’t appear to be pushed on all the way. My guess is the clamp is over the top of the ridge instead of in front and coolant is spraying past under pressure.
Wait till it cools, loosen the clamp, and push that hose until you can’t see any of that shiny plastic and make sure the clamp is in front of the ridge and snug. Don’t crank the hell out of the hose clamp or you could break the plastic.disoba Thanks this. -
I had a 2000 Volvo and the plastic radiator had leek on top. It would only open up pulling a hill. Basically the plastic would expand when really hot.

That seems a lot for that little area you are showing. Is your thermostat bad? I just replaced hoses and thermostat a month or 2 ago. Most my leaking was from hose expanding while hot and then leaking when I parked for a couple days.
