If it's orange and it's coolant... You have bigger issue than the leak

What color is your washer fluid? And you would know just by smelling it if it were coolant.

found one loose hose, reconnected that and took it out. The noise im hearing is a ticking/grinding noise. Car is running fine, but when i run low rpm and hit the breaks i hear the grinding noise
