2013 Chevy Cruze - This is the 2nd time this has happened. Same exact spot, same break.
1st time - 100,000 miles, 2nd time - 150,000 miles
One of my friends had the same issue 2 years ago as well.

Anyone else had this problem?

I have not but this will fix your problem:


50,000 miles is pretty good for a plastic water outlet.
Mine broke there too. There’s not a lot you can do. Plastic is subject to engine heat, pressure from clamps, & heat of the coolant inside.

Just bought one. Will hang onto it to replace the next failure in one of my two 2016 Cruzes. First one failed at 93,000 miles. The other hasn’t had any problems with that, but it only has 30,000 miles on it.

Thank you.

I replaced the outlet, hoses, and clamps (screw clamps).

I’ve done a couple 80 mile runs in the highway and no leaks

Thank you I will keep this link.

hopefully I won’t see this leak again for a while.
