Spent the last couple weeks in rage and panic trying to figure out how to pay for a new head gasket for my 94 3.0 and now I feel like an idiot. Got it good and hot today, got it to leak and found this...


Seems to start right at this fitting in front of the driver fuel rail.



So, the good news is obviously this huge pool of coolant is coming from above the head. The bad news is I don't know what this hose/fitting are called and I can't tell if this is coming from the hose (I tried tightening it up, didn't help) or from where the fitting meets the intake. Is this a shaped hose that I will need to find or will the right diameter replacement hose work? At least this is another opportunity to replace one of those stupid hose clamps with a screw one.

Well never mind realized its the line to the throttle body. Just my luck the hose is toasted and the hard line to the intake is dented like it got clamped on. I probably screwed it ip when i adjusted the tps awhile back. Can I just bend that out gently without worrying about breaking it? It also sort of looks like a formed hose but I'm not sure.

ive done that with the hard line and have had no problem with it you should be fine just be gentle with it while doing so
