Engine Coolant problem

[danger69]

Okay now that I eliminated a few things wrong. So here is the breakdown.

Problem:After the engine warms up some where there is a coolant leak. And the temp needle didn't move.

Things Done:I recently replaced the thermostat, drained radiator coolant, drained/cleaned radiator resivoir. Today I refilled the radiator with water. Turned on the engine with heater on high. In a few minutes my temp needle moved for the first time and sits in the middle which is great. Then I noticed dripping from somewhere on the passenger side. I checked around under the car and on top and could not find anything. I turned off the engine and let it cool down. I squeezed the upper radiator hose and I hear a weezing sound like air is escaping from somewhere. I have traced it to a hose that is behind the thermostat housing. What hose is that? I know my thermost housing isn't leaking because I checked that also. Please help.

uh what kinda engine you got? regardless of which engine though, if it's behind the thermo housing, it'll run under the intake manifold and those a a pita to change out.

Its an KA24E. What hose is that? Is it the heater hose?

if it's what i think it is, it's bigger than a plain jane heater hose, it should look like a segment of a radiator hose
