that fire extinguisher was a good buy.

i've found with old rubber lines it pays to sometimes rotate the worm-gear hose clamps around if you ever re-tighten them because they have uneven pressure under the worm gear part. they tend to indent their pattern into the rubber and over time some of the less-tight spots start to leak. loosen it, give it a 180-deg rotate and retighten and you'll be able to cinch down the parts that started to loosen.

i was able to stop a power steering leak on my xterra this way - just popped a new hose clamp on and made sure the worm gear part was opposite where it was positioned originally.
