I'm new to this Jeep thing, so please bear with me! I replaced the upper rad hose on my '03 TJ and it's leaking where the hose goes in the engine (4.0 IL6). Not sure I have it all the way on so I'm posting pics for your review. Is it on correctly or does it need to go further down?
Any help is appreciated!

The hose does need to be all the way down to the ridge line...jubilee clips aren't the best way to attach the hose though...the stock clamps work much better. ( I made this mistake too )

So you’re saying it’s on far enough but should use a different clamp?
Thanks Kiwi!
 

The top picture shows the hose about an inch short of the stop, so it should be all the way down to the stop as in the second picture.

The worm drive clamps are not the best and should be replaced with constant tension clamps as originally installed from the factory.
