Throttle Body Coolant Hose

I recently found a leak coming from a coolant hose attached to the throttle body on my 2012 G37 sedan (shown in pic... also I fully realize how dusty my motor is ). It seems like a fairly simple fix, is there measures I have to take prior to disconnecting and replacing the hose (e.g. Coolant drain) ? Or can I disconnect w/o coolant drain?

Any input is appreciated

- Joe

Just disconnect it and let the coolant go where it goes. Wash off the coolant and dust with water after you install the new hose

Maybe baking soda/water mix to remove the residue?

That is for battery corrosion.

Once you remove the hose from the barb just a light sanding w/ some steel wool or a scotchbrite pad should clean up any buildup, just check for any pitting that may be penetrating into the hose mount, should be in fine shape if it hasn't been too long.
