Ahhh Pink frothy coolant.....its an easy fix. One or two bolts and a clamp.

Is that a hard to find ClubLexus sticker on your windshield?

How did you fix it? Do I just take out the old clamps and put in new ones?

Check for sticking valve...cracked hose...cracked hose flange on valve...
then get new clamps...they are cheap and its better to just replace them that have a problem down the road
