Radiator hose question

what's the radiator hose that's smaller than the upper and lower hose that connects to the bottom left of the radiator when your facing the car? mine's leaking and i need a replacement. i went on mazdatrix but i'm confused on which one it is because the one they sell doesn't seem like it's the same shape, or maybe i just can't see it well. can somone link me and give me the part number?

It's 62-2130- this is the one that goes from the metal pipe to the radiator lower fitting.

The other hose goes from the firewall to the metal pipe.

Auto parts store...

Absolutely not. They are new Mazda parts. The exact same that you would buy from a Mazda dealer.

Use the block drain located at the driver's side engine mount.
