for the whole end to crack off where the hose clamps to.
that's what happened to my car before i bought it, only i didn't know until the hose came off one day and the car overheated.
it was the straw that broke the headgasket's back.
i'm confident the car had already overheated the first time the hose came off, because some of the vibration that came with the car when i bought it went away after the headgasket was done, suggesting the car had a small headgasket leak when i bought it.
if it's cracking, it's getting weak, i would replace it for the hour's labor and $140 cost.
my car runs a lot cooler now with new rad, low temp thermostat and low temp fan switch. and such peace of mind, much better than keeping an eye on that little crack...
