What is this hose for?

Hey, got a problem with a hose.

This hose goes from the housing, under the UIM, out the back and it is leaking coolant when I start the car. |Can someone tell me how to fix this or just what this hose is supposed to go to?



It's the one in the middle going behind the purple vacuum lines.

something to do with the heater core i believe but can you circle the exact place , since it is very hard for me to tell which one you mean.

ur going to have to reroute it, or braze the outlet shut, but i would recommened just rerouting it, if theres fluid going in u have to find the out, or vise-versa, and skip what ever is in the middle, like the heater core.
Check this work of Art out lol

Thats just if its the heater core, but the concept will apply anywhere else

Split Air pipe hose from the intake manifold. You have no ACV so it does nothing at all one way or the other. Remove it and let the nipple stay open. Hurts nothing to leave it open.
