3/8 hose repair kit. If you can't find that, get two 3/8 barbed hose fittings and a union. Thats what I did. $3 at most.

wait, you took off a coolant line and you were surprised to see coolant? i wanna be nice but dude youre an idiot.

alright jackass, i wasnt surprised to see coolant, but when its coming from the throttle body and not stopping for 5 minutes, kinda makes me wonder if it stops because i know its only supposed to drip out

That's cause you have the Radiator side still connected, and it's coming out from the Radiator..

one hose dumdumdum....hell I just pushed the radiator side over the other end and it worked fine. Never bought a coupler never bought a new hose, lol. The throttle body stops dripping after a few minutes.

You didnt search that hard. Do a google search and it comes back with several pages. Not to mention it is as easy as looking at it, figure out yourself what you need and go buy it. Lowes sells a barbed fitting that just "takes place" of the coolant line throught the TB. This is just a common sense subject.

I tried using a kit with the barbed fitting and the whole mess just ends up hanging down on top of your pulleys. It seemed like it was impossible to get it out of the way using the stock hoses.

I just said screw it and went to the hardware store and got one long piece of hose, which was simple to wire tie up out of the way.

i got about 3 drops of coolant total. i did the barb fitting way first but i only had about an inch of clearance from the pulley so i redid it with a new hose.

I went to Kragen and bought 2ft of 5/16" coolant tubing, two worm clamps, and zip ties. I ran the tubing along where you see in the last pic and clamped each end to the corresponding place it needed to go. At first I didn't have the zip tie, but the tubing was a little close to the pulleys for me so I used one zip tie to hold it back a bit. It cost about $5.33 for the parts and took me roughly 6-7min. Hope this helps anyone who had questions about how to do this or where to run the tubing. You'll see in the last pic there is a little protective sheath on the middle of the tubing. I just put that there from the old tubing, thought it couldn't hurt! The red line shows where the tubing is routed, and the red circle is where I used the one zip tie.
