Hey Guys, car has sprung a leak in the coolant system. It is the hose that goes from the lower part of the throttle body to the top part of the engine. U-shaped about 7-8 inches overall. I need to know what it's called so i can go and order it. Any ideas

Thanks

Wouldn't that be a TB coolant hose. Heats up the TB in cold climates to keep blades from freezing closed. Some people will install a bypass kit to remove it for a little HP gain...I don't really see the benefit, but that is MHO. Sorry not to be much more help as I am a LT1 person.
