Coolant Issue

Coolant Issue
I have a 2008 G37 s, and noticed some greenish crust on the upper hose in the area where it mates to the engine. I purchased a new hose, and about ready to change it, my question is does it have to be bled if just the upper hose is to be changed? I assume not much air would get it or much coolant loss. I dont want to make a mistake.

In a word, yes, you will get air into the system by swapping out the hose(s).
Get one of those lisle spill free funnels -
My own recommendation is since you'll already be doing half the job, do it properly and thoroughly. Replace the other hose, radiator cap, and depending on miles, maybe even the thermostat. When you drop the lower hose, the radiator will also drain. Otherwise, it's somewhat of a half @ssed job. Not a bad idea to change the drive belt out at the same time either.
