Leaking photo attached help please
 
I have a leak from the bundle of hoses in the center of the photo, under the air cleaner by the turbo. I wish I knew the name of it. I have checked Pellicanparts and see nothing like it in their parts catalog.

Is this something repairable with an O ring or a replacement. There look to be multiple hose clamps, I can't tell exactly where the leak is coming from.

Ideas please

That is your auxiliary coolant pump

$305 from Pelican and no you can't order the internal o-ring separately.

I would first try to see if the hose clamps are all tight.

The air filter box is very easy to remove and then you have lots of room to work on the connections.

I would also check the junk yard for a replacement.

Unless you live in a terribly cold climate and don't get enough heat out of the heater, you can simply remove the pump, insert a pipe to replace it, and tape off the electrical connection.

x2 on living without the pump....mine doesn't work on the 98, I live in New England, and I don't miss it. Not a chance I'll ever replace it.

Thanks to all.

I was able to get access and slightly tighten 3 of the 4 screws that hold the pieces together. I was also able to only slightly tighten up the 2 larger clamps.

If it still leaks I will take it apart and examine the parts.

If I bypass the pump, it is obvious that I connect the large hoses together. What do I do with the smaller hose and where does it go?

The small hose is the heated washer fluid loop. Washer heater is in parallel with the cabin heater so you'll need to find the other end to cap off as well.

Update
 
Thanks for all your help Jay_Bob.

I took the pump out today, disassembled it, cleaned it up and hit it with brake cleaner. It was not obvious where the leak is from.

I reassembled it with red high temperature silicone gasket maker. Hopefully I did not use too much and glue the pump rotor solid.

It is not leaking after a couple of runs bringing the temperature up to 80 degrees operating temperature. So far so good. If it leaks again I will likely go aftermarket from ebay MotorKing for $61.95

It is so easy to R&R it could easily be replaced or bypassed on the road.
