Are you talking about the line that connects to the bottom drivers side of the reservoir? Or the metal and rubber combination line that wraps around over the top of the alternator and connects to the passengers side of the reservoir?

The GM part is 26068527. Dealers should still be able to order it for you even though its not showing up in the catalog. Regardless, you should be able to find a better price for it online.

It is leaking at the crimped part of the hose? If so, you could cut the crimp off with a dremel and add a new section of hose with hose clamps.

I couldn't find a low pressure line either and ended up doing that.

Best bet is to post in the classifieds for a used one. I tried everywhere to get one with no luck. Finally I found someone local that was parting out their car. You can get the high pressure line almost anywhere. Some guys make their own return lines with AN fittings. There's a write up somewhere on here with the parts list for jegs I believe. Good luck to you.

Ah - yes. I don't have the P/N for the non-cooler hose. All of the parts for our car are being "discontinued" gradually by GM. As demand picks up for the parts, aftermarket makers will pick them up and you'll start seeing them in stores and catalogs. This will be a painful thing that we'll be dealing with over the next few years until GM gets out of these cars entirely. After that, places like Classic Industries will have a full line of parts. (They may have this now - I don't know.)

What is the problem with your current hose? It is really basic and shouldn't need replacing. If its leaking at the ends, you should be able to fix it with a new seal or clamp.

i found the hose at an advanced auto here for 29 bucks, lmk if you want me to pick it up and mail it to you if you cant find one around you. Just pay for the hose and shipping if you still need it. i bought the same one when i had a major leak and replaced it and its been good ever since. needs a chickenfoot wrench to get it on and off
