Icon2 coolant leak from hose under distributor cap

I pulled on the hose that seems really long and then I realized that coolant was coming out of it and this is why the car was steaming and over heating.

What is this hose called? and what is the best way to change it? It looks like I need to remove the distributor cap probably.





THANK YOU GUYS!!

It is one of the heater hoses. You can look up your car on a dealer's parts site like hondaautomotiveparts to get the part number and official name.

Your best bet is to start a new thread specific to your vehicle and list your year/model/mods...
