Tahoe & SuburbanThe power, space, and brutal towing ability make the Tahoe and its longer sibling, the Suburban, arguably the best full size SUV's on the market today.
I smelled a coolant/burning smell when we got out from a short trip out the other day. After thinking about it, I had noticed a wet spot in the driveway when we left where you would typically see condensation from the accumulator. I didn't register at the time, but it was from the leaking fitting on a heater hose where it connects to a steel/rigid line going down under the frame. It appears to be a quick connect type fitting and it is dripping from the connection. Is this part repairable or does the entire line need to be replaced. It's connected to a hose with part number 15895065. Thanks for any advice in advance. 2008 Suburban, LTZ

Follow up. I noticed spot on drive had not gone away and after feeling again, it may be transmission fluid. It felt slightly oily.
There are 2 t quick fittings one for the front and one for the rear, it is a fairly simple job. Mine went out at about 150k miles. Picked up the parts at Oriellys.
