Can someone identify these hoses *pic*
The part numbers? Another Storm88000 problem: one of the coolant hoses is rotted out and leaking in the 98 SE-R. The problem is there's so much crap in the way it's hard to tell which one is leaking. Here is the photo:



In this photo, I am underneath the passenger side area, looking straight up, with legs sticking out the front of the car. You can see the intake manifold just above the hoses. I need to know if possible which one is probably the culprit. I've can see it dripping from under the car but I just can't find the source, nor can I from up in the engine bay.

Ray Kawski thinks it's the hose with Nissan part #14055MA as seen in this diagram:



Anyone?

Edit: I'd be willing to replace BOTH hoses just in case, but I need to know for sure what their part numbers are....

@morgans432 - is it really necessary to remove the intake manifold or hoist the motor up to swap these out?

These things look like a huge pain in the ass, from under the car and above. I ordered the hoses you suggested and they're on the way

It is completely necessary to either remove the intake manifold in the entirety or get down and dirty underneath and have fun working up with falling coolant.

would definitely remove intake manifold. they are a major pita.

@morgans432 - or anyone who explain this to me - this makes no sense:

I noticed the coolant leaking Thursday last week. It leaked about 1/2 jug of distilled water a day of normal driving (luckily it's been in the 50's here in PA so no worries about freezing)

Since yesterday, it's been around 70 degrees, and *NO COOLANT* is leaking, none to notice under the car anyway. Last weekend I'd park somewhere for 10 min, come out and there would be a puddle under the car, now nothing; and yes the distilled water is topped off in the radiator and also filled up to the max line in the reservoir.

The only thing I can think of - and I could be way, way off here - is that I haven't used the heat the last 2 days because it's been so warm out. Is there a specific hose that fills with coolant when you use the heat, and since I haven't used it, there's no fluid in there to leak out?

Again this is very bizarre and I have no explanation. I suppose I'll go outside and start the car and run the heat and see if anything happens.


EDIT: can probably scratch that theory, lol. I just drove around for 20 minutes with the heater on full blast, even going up to the fuel cut, came back and parked it and shone my flashlight under the area it was leaking, and nothing. What in the hell
