Hello, I have a coolant leak and have to replace coolant every few days. I did notice one of hoses underneath the hose that runs from coolant reservoir has a leak but unsure of name of hose or part number. I would like to replace the hose that runs from the top of reservoir and the one that runs alongside the front of engine. VW emailed me a diagram and I have no idea how to read it. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

They don't show this hose for some reason, can you see where the other end goes? It should go to the upper or lower radiator hose or radiator itself.
