Was replacing the heater hoses on my 300 and dove into the project before realizing what a pain in the ass it is. Needless to say my hands are cramping still as I type this from using the pliers to get those damn metal clips off the hoses.
Now on to the question, I realized that there was a bunch of silicon(blue in color) around the heater box inlet hoses, as if there was a leak someone half way fixed. Also when the hoses finally came off the inner most inlet looks a little bent inward. See pics. So do I need to take out the heater core out and inspect or should I just replace the hoses and see if it leaks when all back together.
Thanks as always in advance
