Coolant leak in hose behind water pump. I can sort of see/feel it but not enough to replace it…Pulled water pump as I’m replacing both, but I still can’t get to the hose. Do I need to pull the intake manifold to get to the hose? If so, do I need any special tools? Never pulled an intake. ---

So it’s the hose in the “V” behind the water pump in the pic below, below the intake manifold? ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/cartalk/original/2X/c/c3518977fa2d8e5e42de506986376de23052d322.jpg) ---

Yeah it’s literally right behind the water pump. I took the pump off but still can’t get to that Hose. You think I’ll need to pull the intake manifold? I heard its a pain. ---
