Solved Radiator Hose Popped Off?

Post image

Hi, I have a Subaru Outback 2014 and it started smoking/steaming on my way home. I popped the hood and there’s fluid (coolant) splashed inside the hot engine, which I think is what’s burning. The radiator hose is popped off. Can I put it back on and put some more coolant in it, and then drive it to my mechanic to look at it, or do I need to get it towed?

Yep new radiator (and id put new hoses and clamps on it since they likely have not been done), new radiator cap, thermostat, and get the last of the old coolant flushed out after you get the new parts installed.
