That Hose is going to your oil cooler. It's junk take those hoses off and just run a hose from your waterpump to the lower small outlet on the drivers side of the radiator (oil cooler bypass). There will be no negative effects by doing this, and your problem will be solved. If you search oil cooler delete you will find lots of information on this.

you can make your own coolant crossover from brass fittings (one elbow, one 'T" and some braided line. What you need to do is run the elbow off the driver's side head, braided line to the 'T' on the back of the passenger side head. The free end of the 'T' goes to the coolant line that returns to the top of the radiator, routed along the pass. side of the intake, under the cannister purge solenoid.
Lots of guys are doing this because the banjo bolts and steam pipe are going for over $120.00 these days (if you can even find one).
