Need help please coolant issue!!!

[diego]

I found a pin hole leak a few weeks ago that would spray a steady stream when under pressure. I temporarily fixed it with some bonding agent, but the water is finding it way through it. I want to replace the part but I don't know what it is. It is a metal hose that starts off from a radiator hose and splices off into two ( one to the heater and the other unknown, but I think its the engine block???) This is the 5.0 V8 and i have two pictures showing first the location of the hose and second the area I bonded with a small drawing of what the hose looks like.... Please any on with any info or a diagram please let me know.

Measure the rubber hose length and buy a coolant hose that is 4-5 inches longer (same diameter). Then just slide the new rubber hose past the point of the leak and clamp it off. Should fix it no prob.

If not you can try cutting some of the metal hose away (the bent part) and slide the rubber hose over that piece. Also lightly scuff up the metal hose before you put the rubber hose on then put some RTV sealant on the metal hose before you slide the rubber hose over. Then put 1 or 2 clamps on the hose. Make sure the RTV does not enter the hose or you could have some thermostat problems. The RTV also takes 1 hour before it cures enough to drive and 24 hours to fully cure.

and replace that spring clamp with a good old worm gear hose clamp

Help??????

Ok the problem is back... the water made it past the putty and is unfixable. I would have just slid the hose over the bend but its a tight 90 and the is no way a clap will have and success. My new thought is where the rubber hose comes out of the water pump , remove it and run a rubber hose from front to back and place a Yd fitting then continue into the existing rubber hoses... any thoughts? Ohh and i am not running the rubber hose in the same location for het reason. ????

the pipe is replaceable you have to remove upper intake manifold and order it from ford i dont think it expensive but if you keep driving you will damage engine if its leaking in one spot its only a matter of time before another pops up pipe is shot replace it not a big job r&r intake is biggest problem and thats not that hard
