Last weekend while doing the plugs and coils on my '04 5.4, the third plug well back on the passenger side had a little bit of coolant around it. For a split second I panicked, thinking it was from the head, but then quickly realized it was from a small (3/8"-ish?) diameter hose directly above the area that dripped a bit of coolant (I may have very well broken it open prying around on it and the heater hoses in the area to access the plugs). I'm assuming the hoses and the Y are all a one-piece, factory-only part? Any known hacks out there to use a plumbing fitting or something to replace it? For that matter - what the heck is it? I've never seen coolant in a small diameter hose like that?
