Hello all! It's been a while since I've been on asking for help since my car has been doing well but it looks like it has decided to make me work over the 4th!

I have a coolant leak from a hose under the fuel injectors. Looks like a medium difficulty job but I wanted to check with you guys incase there is anything I needed to do this job besides the obvious hoses. I'm posting some pics of the faulty hose and what I think I'll have to take off to get to it. THe one in red is what has to come off to get to the hose but do I need any other sealants other than RTV? Any gaskets need to be replaced? ANy advice would be appriciated. THis forums members have saved my but many times.

Are oyu sure it's the hose not the HG??? Because It looks like you are circling the IACV which is air only.....

I went out and took a better picture. When the engine is warm and I squeez on the rad hose coming out of the top of the radiater water trickles out from this hose.

I guess a better request would be any advice on removing the intake manifold. I found a how to on this site but without the pictures it just is'nt as clear.

Yeah that hose is a pita to get off without pulling the intake manifold. Good luck with that one. Pull the manifold, not much you can really do about that one. You'll burn as much time trying to replace that hose with the manifold on as if you were to pull the manifold, just without as many cuts on your hands.
