Coolant Leak
I have an 87 F150 w/ a 302 V8. The coolant is leaking profusely from this housing thing up at the motor. I am a decent mechanic and I want to fix it myself but I don't even know what to call the thing. It has 2 large air hoses going into it and a small water hose at the base. Anybody have any suggestions? Thanks, Geoff

I wouldn't bypass that little hose. Just get a new one. I think its 5/16 hose. From everything I have read, your truck will run better with that hooked up.
