Looks like a heater control valve to me. Vacuum operated off your climate control inside the car. Only allows coolant through the heater core when the heat is actually on.

ty for the pic ramrod, but i just linked cause i didnt want to break the forum frames. 
it looks like the part thats leaking is connected to the other hose. Like, the vacuum part that moves in and out is connected to the top hose and the moveable part is connected to a valve on the bottom hose. I think the valve must be leaking....
but anyways the real question is, is it all one part that both hoses plug into or 2 seperate or what? my chiltons has no answer...
:doom:

If you CAN scrape the $90.00 together, it will save you WAAAAY over that, in farmed out repairs and in replacing parts that AREN'T defective.
