Silicone Hoses or OEM Replacements

[wainwrightj]

So got a couple leaks I need to sort (one from the mess that is the t piece that floats around above the gear box and another from the bottom radiator hose mines got the metal thingy with the o-ring type connector)

Is it worth going full silicone hoses or just stick with oem replacements?

I was going to go silicone mainly because it looks cleaner are there any down sides to using silicone over oem replacements? Will I find a silicone lower radiator hose with the right connector for my car?
