a lil bit scared; overheating issues
Ok, so I was heading out to a friends place when I started smelling a weird smell. Just last year I replaced the coolant reservoir because it had started leaking, so anyway the smell continued to get worse and my car overheated. I pulled it over to the nearest parking lot and popped the hood to be hit in the face with steam and a leaking pipe underneath. I checked my coolant and it was completely empty and it seemed to have accumulated rust inside the reservoir. I had my mechanic look at it and we found the problem, the leak is coming from a metal pipe and there are several holes which we patched up temporarily but the coolant all leaks out every time I drive. I was wondering if anyone knows where i can purchase this lower hose which is metal and not rubber.

thats the actual pipe you can see the rust, not sure if its the water pipe or the coolant bypass pipe. it was under all this stuff

sugarcean, check out http://www.jaguarparts.com. This is a dealership out of Cleveland Ohio and they will be able to get you the pipe that you are after. You can look on the site and it has a 1-800 number that you can call and you can describe the piece that you are needing and they will send it your way. For factory parts, this is about as cheap as you will find.
