90 Camaro heater control valve hose question


Last night I noticed antifreeze under the car. Lifted the hood and it appears to be coming from the the hose that comes off the heater control valve and goes back to the engine block by the distributor. It’s leaking back by the distributor where it goes into the block. Can someone tell me what size the hose is so I can get another one from the auto parts store? It appears to be pre formed with a bend at the end to angle toward the nipple. I’m assuming I won’t be able to buy one like that and will have to use a regular heater hose. I just need to know what size.

thanks

A search online at Autozone turns up this part number for the heater control valve to intake hose. Can anyone here confirm that it’s the correct one before I order it in?

What’s weird is that this leaked yesterday but I haven’t seen any water on the ground this morning. I’m sure it didn’t magically fix itself overnight

Have a look at www.rockauto.com for your hose options.

Sorry,I realize you can get parts dirt cheap on rock auto,but I don’t have a week to wait on a hose to be shipped to my house.they also have a minimum amount you must order which would bring the cost up to what it is in the store with shipping.
This car is a daily driver so I want to handle this ASAP.

I went with the Gates one. Fits exactly and it’s made in the USA!
