Coolant leak...not from water pump, from heater core hose.

[FirebirdHatesRice]

Alright, you might remember me posting earlier about a coolant leak I had. It seemed pretty clear that it was my water pump until today. Right after I stopped my engine I popped the hood and looked at it, turns out the water pump has nothing to do with it, it's one of the hoses going to my engine from the heater core. Here are some pics I took. I think that the only problem could the the clip at the end that attaches it to the engine block, or the o-ring. Any thoughts? Apparently the Pontiac dealer wants me to buy the whole damned hose when all I need is the clip that goes on the end.

!!BEFORE YOU BUY IT FROM THE DEALER!!!
Take a look on ebay. There was someone selling the heater hoses for the 97+ f-body for a great price. I'll take a look as soon as I'm done writing this, and I'll post the site when I find it.

I'm not sure if the 97+'s are interchangeable with the pre 97's, but take a look. The guy has a great picture of it posted.
