If you are facing the radiator the top left hose that goes into the motor and there is a pipe there that receives the hose. The pipe that catches the hose or where the hose goes in it has deteriorated. Can this pipe be replaced?

Pipe on motor or pipe on Radiator? One on motor can be replaced that is the thermostat housing. One on Radiator (if radiator is stock) is part of the radiator and would be plastic. If so, would replace the radiator, because if that plastic has gone bad then leaks from the plastic endtanks are soon to come.

Pipe on motor but it is not by the thermostat but by the relief valve. The valve that you open when you let the air out. There is a pipe there that the upper hose connect to. It looks like the pipe is connected to the motor.

Thanks

if you are talking about what the upper coolant hose connects to then i don't think it is possible. :ohno:
i would recommend searching for a new intake manifold
good luck!
