It's a split hose!!! I found the leak. The question is, how do I change this hose? I'll put some photos here.

It's a very small, short hose at the rear center of the engine.

Any one know which hose this is and the best way of tackling it? (from underneath or above?, tips?)

Put your pics in the thread not link as I find it pain in arse to leave thread then come back (3rd world probs i know)

huge photo is huge, but yes, that's the hose causing all the trouble, it's just out of reach from the top.

I'm going to replace it with a silicon hose, but I'm not sure what size I need, and how to remove it.

I saw that breakdown but it's all moon-speak to me. I've read a few threads on coolant leaks in that general area, and it looks like it's going to be a bigger job than it looks, a real knuckle scraper.

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
