Did I Get the Wrong Heater Hose?
I while back, I found out I had a coolant leak.
I traced it to a heater hose that was under the oil filter. I later found out it was (might have been) because of a leak in the oil filter housing that dripped on top of the heater hose.
So I went up to Mazda and bought the oil rings there, and ordered the hose. Just got the hose today, and it looks wrong...
Here is the hose I'm talking about:
Picture of hose (where it's leaking from)
Now the hose looks like an 'S'. It comes from the block(?) and wraps around to the back and enters the car.
The hose that I got looks like an 'L'. I look at the leaky hose in the car, and it looks like it has a sleeve on it. Could it be 2 seperate hoses?

Well, the whole hose looks a lot longer than the one I have.
Is it possible the hose going from the block to the car is seperated in 2?
If I got the wrong hose, I don't think regular collant hoseing with bend the way this one does. :|
