So about a month ago I had a head gasket job, apparently when my mechanic pulled the 20 year old heater hoses and other coolant hoses off the water outlet bypass thing on the rear side of the engine by the firewall, it disturbed the old brittle lines and when he put them back on, instead of replacing them like I asked, he said they looked fine. They weren't.

I already replaced the small U shaped hose back there part 16267, now the one at this junction with the screw off cap is leaking. Does anyone have a part # for this hose? I've checked my diagram for the cooling system and can't figure which one it is.. It's going into that bypass system where the other sensor plugs and whatnot are at, but that's all I can tell.. I think I should just replace them all, but I'd like to tackle this leaking one first, its slow but I know the leak will just get faster, I carry a 14 mo old around with me and don't want something bad to happen.

Thanks

Go find one at the junkyard, order it online or be creative and make one that similar!

 

I think I found it on another diagram part 87246B, w/RR Heater shows the side hose attached on 87249A, does this look right?

 

So the cover on the bellhousing is where i'm seeing the leaks. I tightened the clamp down on the hose that appeared to be leaking slowly. I'm still seeing very slow drips coming off the bellhousing cover. How long after a good coolant saturation does it take for this stuff to stop coming out of that area at the transmission? I'm not sure if I got the leak totally or not. I used the air compressor on the overflow inlet to pressure test it, and saw nothing coming out of anywhere, no hissing or anything either.. Not sure where to go from here.. I guess I'll wait overnight and see what ends up on the garage floor.
