I have a 94 oldsmobile that is leaking coolent from a hose conection that has broken off that goes to the engine. half of it is still in the engine what do i do|||If it's a rubber hose, you can splice a section of new rubber hose between the engine and the broken end of the hose if the hose isn't long enough now to reach the engine.

some shops will tell you that a new block is needed


now if its on the water pump its as "simple" as getting a new one bolting it on and no more issues|||take the hose broken piece from the engine.. clean the joint and then the good part of the hose is its long enough trim the end even and place it over this connect point.. if its not long enough.. go to the store and buy radiator hose. its 1dollar a foot ..and just connect it up the same way... look at the clamp that holds it and buy two new ones.. or show the man in the store what you have to get it replaced about 10 dollars more or less to repair. ok.|||you will have to try and get the broken piece out of the engine and get another 1. probably the junkyard will be your best bet, unless you can get a new 1.|||You need a new one
