Default leaking part


water by CDali, on Flickr

The part with the arrow pointed to it has the be the reason radiator fluid is seeping through. It makes its way to my water pump. I need the name of the part and level of difficulty changing it out. Thanks fellas.

Not sure what I'm looking at from the picture. And what year is your car? Maybe another picture that shows a little more.

Thats the best the picture is going to get unfortunately. The part makes an 'S' shape towards my water pump. The other end of the hose picture is being fed to the top of my intake.

Looks like a water pump nipple. Is your leak the nipple (metal) or the hose?
