Coolant leak

Hey guys. I replaced radiator hose only to find out that there is a huge hole on the metal part that connects to the lower radiator hose. Is this a part I can but separately? If so what is it called? Thanks 🙏

You will either need to have the water pump housing welded or a better choice would be to just get a used one. Good time to replace the t-state and water pump since it's all got to come apart anyway.

While your at it, fix that oil metering pump leak. Are you pre-mixing? It looks like the ends of the OMP might be capped.

About that... the OMP lines got melted while I was running it the other day so I’ve been looking for a place to buy them but not having any luck. I’ve seen a lot of people saying to switch to the stainless steel ones but saying they are more expensive. But thank you for the info. I’ll see if I can find a new housing and get that settled first.

Word of advice, do not run the car in it's current state unless you start premixing 2-cycle oil in the gas.

I know one of the lines is NLA. Get a used set. I haven't heard of using stainless lines.

If Im not mistaken Atkins Online Store sells omp lines, and as stated before, do not run the car.
