Name this part

It is splicing 2 coolant hoses and it has this raised circular section. It is leaking coolant out of it so I am wondering what I need to ask for as a replacement part.

Re: Name this part

That looks like one of those flush ports that you splice into the heater hose. It is supposed to have a cap on it with a garden hose connector. Looks like yours is broken and has some parts missing. Charles

I would just replace the whole hose. Less opportunities for leakage.

Pressure wash the engine bay while you're at it

To me it looks like a flux capacitor.

Definetly not factory. Like said above, replace that whole length of line all together. Looks like 5/8" hose .. not expensive at all....
