What hose is this?
Hey guys, I always get amazing info from this forum but now I need to ask a question.
Today I noticed a little steam coming from the hood after driving. Turns out there is a slight coolant leak. After searching around I found a little spray of coolant coming from a tiny hole in one of the hoses behind the engine.
The vehicle is a 1992 4Runner 3.0L 3VZ-E
I did some image searches and there seems to be some ambiguity. I believe it is the heater hose but I'm not sure. Photos below show the overall hose and the coolant spray.
Thanks in advance!

Assuming you're looking at the larger hose with with the 90* bend in it, yes, that's a heater hose, Napa part number 9817 (I just bought another one to help me with my 3.4 swap).

Thanks guys! It looks like one of those in there, 87245A in the second diagram on http://www.utoyot8.com/FullImage.asp...nfo=(8808-++++)
The problem is the top diagram shows a hose of the same number but is a completely different shape.
Not only that but I managed to find a place that sells the part but there are a ton of listings: "87245-60C60" "87245-60C40" etc etc. What does the second set of numbers indicate?
Also, I found this hose at a Pick n Pull but it had a second hose that ran off the side of it (which mine does not), which I've now learned is for trucks with rear heaters.
I bought a hose that might work if I can shape it in the right way without kinking it.... but I'd much much rather have the real part.
Can somebody point me in the right direction? This has turned into a huge scavenger hunt of futility.

The second set of numbers indicates your model. My EPC shows 10 different numbers going with 87245A-. So you need to do your part search using your VIN (whenever you go to the dealer, write your VIN on a slip of paper and hand it to the parts gal. She'll immediately realize you know what you're doing. And it will save her a lot of time.)
You could try someplace like http://www.toyotapartszone.com/.
The part isn't cheap (~$45), but it will work a lot better than a straight hose that will inevitably kink.

Or if you're cool like me, you have your VIN memorized and read it to the parts guy/gal from memory. Usually have to repeat it because they were giving me a funny look and not paying attention.
