If all else fails, go to your friendly Ford dealer's parts department, with your VIN number, and ask for the replacement part.
Of course they won't have it, but kindly ask the parts man for the exact Ford part number and see if a local or nationwide dealer has it.
Try Green Sales (not Green Ford), a company that specializes in obsolete parts and see if they have it.
With the official Ford part number in hand, your last option, IMO, is to see if an aftermarket company can cross-reference it and see if they have one that will work.

Thing is.. im from denmark, and every time i ordre parts for my aerostar, i have to ordre it from USA. Its really hard for me to get parts for it..
So if i could just figure out what part it is, i can ordre it, and give it to the ford workshop and let them fix it..

It's kind of hard to tell from your pictures, but I think that's a heater hose, not an A/C hose. If so, that end that has the rusted clamp on it is attached to the heater core nipple. You can use a 5/16" ratcheting box end wrench to pull it off and take it to your local parts store to find a match.

Hopefully, the leak isn't from the heater core nipple corroding, or you will have to replace that instead. That's a lot more work.

Nice catch. I should have looked at the photos closer before I posted.

It is the A/C hose, because after i disconnected the A/C i stopped ..

I think i just need to take apart my A/C, its broken no matter what, need to get it refilled

In either case, if you can pull the hose off, take it to the parts store for a matching replacement.

Please, when asking questions, list ALL the pertinent info. We are not mind readers.

What year is it, what engine? If it's leaking water, it's a heater hose. A/C hose contains freon which is a gas.

In the USA almost every large city and some small ones have a company that specializes in hoses. We can take any hose to them and they can duplicate it.
Anything like that in Denmark?

Sorry. Its an Ford Aerostar 95 4.0L E4WD XTL.

And it is the heater, because of the "clamp" its connected to, and it was gas coming out

You are going to need to see a pic, contact greensalescompany.com, give them the info and ask them to email you a pic of the heater hoses.

I cannot do it, as my 1990/2001 Ford Light Truck Parts Catalog is on microfiche.

The costly part would be the slip-on fittings. If it really is the end of the hose leaking, you can cut off the leaking part and install an a coupler with a new piece of hose to fit back onto the heater core nipple. That way, you don't even have to try to pull off the slip fitting.
