Corroded metal pipe leaking coolant

[(steven)]

Pulled up on the drive to find my car leaking coolant the other day. First I thought it was the thermostat bypass hose, ordered a new one and replaced but it turns out it’s a small hole in the metal connector which this hose clamps on to which goes somewhere under the block





What do I need to do to replace this? Found a lot of mentions to this on the web but nothing conclusive, some people mentioning it’s a timing belt off job, but no obvious replacement part.

Can anybody point me in the right direction?

Thanks

Thanks, a detailed look at Autolinks's website suggests it's connected to the water pump inlet pipe which looks removable without stripping the engine down. It looks as though you only need to strip the front part of the engine down if the other end of the pipe has corroded.

It's a shame I didn't go through the website page-by-page earlier as that’s where I ordered the replacement hose from.
