Need help identifying name of metal hose on top of water pump; 1989 chevy corsica 2.8
2.8 v6 engine i have no idea what this hose is called it has coolant leaking out of it the slightest bit and it wanting to buy a new one but have no idea what to look up to find it
its located to the right of the water pump and has a hose leading to the right side of the engine under the MAF, i got into an accident a few weeks ago and have been replacing stuff and its slightly damaged and leaking a bit of coolant
Good luck. I don't even show it in any info that I could find. You may be able to pull it, find a radiator guy to plug the hole. I have a good dist. for an 86 2.8 if you need one.
x2 on asking a radiator shop if they can fix the coolant pipe. If you can't find a shop willing to repair the part you can use this search engine to find another Chevy Corsica in the salvage yard near you.
I might make a guess by it's shape and location that it is supposed to act as a valve either to allow coolant to flow through or not. Maybe it is called a thermostat. My wife's Dodge engine had two of them, they shared the same plastic housing and controlled two different circuits in the engine. Maybe the same for yours.
