Hello, I’m Pete from the Car Genius team at RepairPal. I’m sorry you’re dealing with this concern on your 2006 Kia Sorento. Based on the information provided if coolant is leaking or gushing out around a hose that connects to your coolant reservoir in some cases this can indicate that the hose connection itself is damaged and the hose may need to be replaced or that the reservoir may be damaged and may need to be replaced. If there is a clamp or a seal that has failed that clamp or seal may need to be replaced. I recommend having the hose and reservoir itself inspected to help identify which component is causing this concern so it can then be repaired properly to resolve this issue.
