can someone help identify the leaking hose in the picture attached? The green arrow is towards the front of the car.
The hose is beneath the throttle body pretty much in the center of the vehicle. The leakage is visible from above as below. There also seems to be no real leaking in terms of coolant loss or drops on the floor. It appears to be like this since a couple of years.
So just the "heater hose assembly" MNC6733AE and the "three way conncetor" NNE3944BA and I am good for the issue at hand?
Yes.
Is it a good idea to change the valley hoses? I’d say so. These cars are old and if you’re going to daily drive or just make it as reliable as possible I’d highly recommend it as RJ suggested it initially. The question is do you know how to pull the SC off?

You are correct. As my mine has been driven daily for the past three years and no change of that is planned, I will change them too. Am I correct that the part numbers are AJ87634 for the heather hose and NNE3946CA for the return hose? Furthermore, I have found silicone versions from Swallows Racing UK for these hoses. So I will install those.
Regarding the SC removal: No, I haven't looked into it thus far besides one or two YT videos. Are there any highly important steps to know beforehand or is a staight forward process for the mechanically inclined person?
