My explorer is leaking coolant from a damaged line that I am pretty sure is a heater hose. The attached pictures are mostly taken from the front passenger wheel well with the liners removed. I have a replacement 3/4" id hose in there for now but I want to get a proper replacement, I just dont know where to find it. I also attached pictures of the original hose

The original hose. The leatherman is marked in inches for scale

If its a part of Y split junction heater hose assembly you can purchase Dorman one from rockauto (heater hose category for EX)
 






I already have a replacement hose, that's what's in the first pics, but it's a tight location and since I cant bend it exactly like the original there is some interference with the upper control arm(the alternative was pressing it against the exhaust manifold heat shield). It seems to be working fine, and I even did some off roading so the control arm interference seems to not be a problem, but I'd still like to get an OEM replacement for peace of mind, assuming cost isnt ridiculous
