Coolant Leak

Mission complete. I’d say for a shade tree mechanic like me it was no easy task. It didn’t help that the $35 hose fused onto the thermostat housing. It should also be illegal to use a hose that is glued together as well as it should be a crime to put a coolant hose there in the first place. I’m probably going to be back in there for the knock sensors and intake gaskets one day but hopefully not anytime soon. Thanks for all the help clubairth, nbcat and rayzsurfer.

It’s possible it just separated due to the amount of time and heat it’s endured for two decades. I know mine was probably hanging on for dear life for at least a decade lol. The knock sensors can go bad which are also under the intake and then there is the intake gaskets. Rock auto is pretty good for sourcing parts I used Amazon for my heater hose that rayzsurfer linked

I don’t think you would have dislodged that tube since it is not connected to the thermostat housing might just be with age or jostling the hose that goes to the throttle body enough to loosen it.
