Well, I got to try my torch today. I must have overheated it because it's leaking. Can i just replace the torch or do i have to buy all new hoses?

Usually it's not the torch, but the power line that fails first. If you're lucky you can just replace that. However, if it got real hot, it might have melted holes in the other two lines. All the parts are available separately, so you can replace what you need.
BTW: CK makes a fuse block connector that will save your torch and lines if you lose water flow for any reason.

Long arc, short arc, heliarc and in-the-dark!
Thanks,I'll have to investigate to see where the coolant is leaking.
I am going to buy a CK Flexloc torch, but would like to fix this one.
I'll look into that fuse block.

Your lines may be connected wrong if you have coolant coming out where the gas should.

Thanks for the video.
Definitely going to buy one of them Fuse Blocks.
I don't know what caused my cooler to air lock, but don't want to loose another power cable if it ever happens again.
