[RustyShackleford]

There's a pinhole leak in [14055M] HOSE-WATER on my SOHC and it's located under the intake manifold and it's really jammed in there I have no idea how to fit my hand in there and replace the part does anyone know have any advice on this? Here's a diagram of the item if additional pictures are needed please ask. Thanks

Can you get to it from under the car?

[RustyShackleford]

I couldn't get to it because it's next to the oil filter, I might try taking it off later but there's hundreds of little hoses and crap in the way too, and the starter. It's a really small space and it's right underneath the intake manifold. It's just taunting me and it makes me so ANGRYYYYY I'm gonna try to take some pictures tomorrow and I'll see if I can do anything about it.

I recently changed out this hose on my SOHC. I was doing other work on the car so I had removed the power steering pump, fuel rail, and both radiator hoses. It was still difficult to get at this hose and I don't have big hands. I think the way to get at this hose is from the top of the engine and at a minimum you will have to remove the power steering pump for access.
