Facefull of Antifreeze and broken hose clip?

[shawndearman]

Was reaching in to check/clear what looked like leaves behind oil filler tube, oil and must have hit the coolant line that heads down toward bottom rear of motor! Car was still warm from a run and ended up spraying antifreeze all over...really didnt hit it hard at all, but seems to have broken where hose attaches. Appears that the hose from top goes down to a "fitting that is bolted onto case" Ä"..looks like hose's comes up from bottom and hose from top onto this clamp. Almost seems like plastic nipples are what hose clamps to?? Appears nipple broke off in top line. What am I missing? Assume I need new clamp fitting and some antifreeze....sorry for stupid question but my last 911 was a 68 and aircooled?

You just need to replace that connector junction. I'm not sure of the part number but if you remove the old unit there will be a part number on it. They get brittle over time and very easy to break.

I have a spare one just for that purpose (you can also use a 1/4" brass hose repair kit from home depot in the mean time).

The part number is 99610622652, about $5 (and IIRC this subject just came up here recently as well).
