Anyone know what this piece is? its leaking coolant on my 95

This thing, towards the refil valve for the ac refrigerant, is where my 95 is leaking coolant from...what is it? And is that a piece I can easily order, and replace myself?

its on the passenger side towards the firewall

That's the heater bypass valve. 18.99 at Autozone. I carry a spare one with me at all time. Had one leaked one time and it was no fun it goes to the heater core? It's cheap and easy to slap on when needed.

Ahh, is it a simple repair? Will I have to plug anything, or add any fluids or anything?

Heres a better pic, this is the whole thing, same pic but just more specific I guess...thats the piece your talking about right

You will lose a little coolant, but it's easy to replace. Wait for the engine to cool and you will have no problem.

Thanks alot man, you just took so much relief off my shoulders, I figured there had to be something complicated behind it, or that id have to replace like that whole assembly of valves and hoses and whatnot lol.

Worst case, you replace the heater control valve and possibly a couple 5/8" heater hose. it depends on what condition your hose is in..
