what coolant hose?

[ThunderbirdSport]

It's an 06 4.6, it's the hose that runs down along side the passenger header/manifold.

Down where the shield on the header or manifold is, there's a pretty steady stream of coolant when the engine runs. I can't seem to find the name of the hose, but it's definitely coolant.

Mine either ruptured, or else wore a hole while rubbing on the shield thingamajig.

If it will help, I'll get a pic when I get home from work..

Thanks, as always!

It's an assembly - an expensive one at that. Normally the hose leaks at the plastic wye. You can cut it out and replace it with one from a parts store. It's a very common problem.

Everything else is intact, just this one hose has ruptured. I've looked on O'ripoffs site and can't find a hose. Anyone know of a part number? No need to replace the whole assembly, just this hose..
