I have an 05 LS V6. While replacing a belt I broke the barb off the upper hose. I was not able to find one locally so I just plugged the hole and the hose going to the degas bottle. I have been running this way about a month with no coolant loss and the temp is staying as it always has. Just wondering if I am doing harm to anything. I know it was made that way for a reason but everything seems fine. Any comments?
