Well I sucessfully replaced ny h2o pump this weekend and no busted knuckles, but when I was removing my the hoses to the air intake I noticed that the two lower hoses that go to the front of the motor under the h20 pump cover and the one that goes to the rear of the motor had both rotted away where the hose makes a 90 degree turn into the motor. Now these two hoses have a hard plastic peice that snakes around, but the part that goes into the motor has totally rotted away. Also I had a vacuum leak at the rear of my motor. Its hard to explain, but at the back center of the motor there is a black plastic circular peice about 3" by 3" and right behind that ther are 3 very small rubber 90 degree elbows that have thin peices of hard plastic hose going into them. One was disconnedcted and hissing. I pushed it back in as best I could, but could not get it in very far. Any suggestions what I need to do about these two problems?
By the way the car is a 96 GL 2.5 with 100K miles



Replace the hoses first off, that should take care of the problem.
