Unhappy Cooler hose spider mess

After getting everything back together from a front timing replacement, I discovered a water leak when filling the rad. It's coming from the mess of hoses and wires below the throttle body. It can only be coming from the bundle of rubber hoses that tie the throttle body, water reservoir, engine water pump, small electric pump below the water reservoir, and another hose back below the firewall. What a mess! Who ever thought of this route should be shot! Anyway, I'm just venting.

So a kit that somewhat resembles my spider maze is over $100 and I'm not sure it's the same. Has anyone just made up an assembly with high quality heater hose?

The point of JagV8's post was the OP Dale Larson should have included vehicle details either in his post or in his forum Signature.

I see you manage to be even less helpful in your post by showing neither your vehicle details or Location.





The question is model specific and should have been posted in X308 forum. If the post had included vehicle details I would have moved it there as I have done hundreds of times before with posts made in General Tech Help.
