I need to replace asap but not sure if I need a radiator hose or a heater hose, it's on the right side of the engine block pretty much directly under the supercharger

Lower radiator hose?

Update: I think it may be a bypass hose?

M only concern is it isn't long and lanky like the radiator hose looks in pictures it's short and kind of thick

you were correct thanks so much! So I ended up asking the guy I sold my recently deceased mini to (he's building a new engine for it) and he let me have the piece from that engine so I have it, now my issue is holy crap I can't get to the clamp closest to the pump 😩 And i ran that test on my engine block, no cracked head gasket 😅 So I'm hoping this hose and a thermostat maybe are why my coolant is disappearing mysteriously

The end closest to the radiator will not come loose I'm almost certain the clamp is all the way

Got the top one off and still working in the bottom clamp the hose is so expanded and corroded it's not wanting to give. I just took the top of the supercharger off I can see it a little better. Damn thing ;( thanks for the advice

ended up having to cut it but finally came off, taking a break then gonna attempt to get the new one on. I've owned this car just shy of a year and I haven't replaced the water pump at all, can't say when the last owner did I probably should have asked when all components were serviced last. did come with some oil change and other parts paperwork though

ALso had to take the top of the supercharger off and there was a tad bit of why I think is antifreeze in it, is that something I should be alarmed if? Mind you I have probably put a little too much antifreeze in the last few days trying to save it from over heating

right! I'm so mind blown I didn't join any mini forums years ago you all are such a big help

It was the same color as my antifreeze. There's some wear/cracking in the rubber parts that seperate it so I'm thinking maybe it got sucked in with some air? Or maybe that's not a thing idk I don't like the sight of fluid anywhere it shouldn't be. The hose went on without as much issue as getting it off so that's a plus! gonna change the spark plug wires next hopefully that helps the misfire which it is still doing even though the check engine light went off

P0301 cyl 1 misfire & P0313 misfire w/ low fuel

i changed the spark plugs the coil pack and did an engine block test along with finding and changing about 4 badly busted hoses within the intercooling system over the last 3 days, after changing the spark plugs and coil pack the light went off instantly, but it's still misfiring. after driving for about ten minutes the misfire will go away and won't come back until the car has sat for a few hours

ok update, flushed and tried to burp the radiator before putting the front end back on and there's no antifreeze circulating into the radiator? I don't see any fluid whatsoever passing through, could it be the thermostat? I was sure that corroded bypass hose was the issue

False alarm 🤣 I didn't let it run long enough for the thermostat to open up, it did and the fluids circulating properly 😌 I wonder if maybe even that corroded bypass hose could have caused the misfire? Or the coolant in the supercharger? 🤔

i took it off and looked again today didn't see any more signs of it. Changed the spark plug wires and the misfire went away and it is running so strong gave her a bath gonna clean the inside up next thanks for all your help!
