Rad hose
#4
Split hoses just general wear and tear.
Split rads (classic cars)........well its certainly happened to mine a few years ago. All started with a very small hair line crack which over the following weeks got progressively worse bulging up. I replaced my rad for a new one.
If this should happen to your rad in the future don't be tempted to use a rad weld of sorts. This will give you more grief than its worth in the long run blocking water gallerys and hose runs, causing over heat.
