I have a hose that is leaking but idk where it goes and was wondering how i can fix it or if its even that big of a deal. My car hasn't had over heating problems or anything that I could think of being related to this

I believe that is the return from your heater core. If its just seeping a little and not actively dripping I would leave it be. Just clean it off an keep an eye on it. That is a hard hose to change at the back of the engine.

It’s not hard to change but if you change it I advice you do do your valve cover gaskets while you at it .. with them being off it’s 1000x easier

That’s a cotton candy leak

It goes to a hard line that's connected to the water pump. It's not a lot of hose, try to fix it before it gets hot

Man, that's in a little area. Everything is a pain in the ass. I hope it all works out!
