Could you please tell me what kind if car hose this is from my picture,

[JoeB]

it's leaking antifreeze? I have a 94 Ford Taurus. I know where the leak is I just don't know the name of the hose to buy and replace. At first I thought it was the upper radiator hose I know that's a big hose, are there different pieces or sections to upper radiator hoses? If it is the big one, (my leak is coming from a smaller hose) then I'm thinking it may be a heater hose because the hoses are connected to 2 metal pipes on one end, the other end they go into some part of the engine.

I have 2 pictures, 1 is a far away look to get a good perspective of where I'm talking about:

The other is a close up of the two hoses:

One of them is leaking but I want to replace both but have no idea what they're called, radiator hoses, heat hoses, I'm confused and just trying to learn about fixing easy car problems. One of the two hoses has a small leak and is spewing antifreeze everywhere. The two pipes these hoses are connected to, one I can see leads to the dash, the other wraps around and I haven't verified where it goes to.

Thanks so much if you can help or tell me anything, just trying to learn : )
I think you may be right, they look similar to the picture of a bypass hose when I look it up online.
AJ I wish I could give you like 50 thumbs up : )
The one heater hose, what fit would it be pipe to waterpump or pipe to something else, pipe to thermostat?

hard to tell from the pic but they are most likely heater hoses but quite possibly they go to the intake.If you can drive the car take it to the parts store and they'll take a look.If not take the hoses off and take them to the store and they can match them up or give you materials to make you own hose(some hoses have a "T" with a smaller hose branching off)

I think they might be called coolant bypass hoses. You should take them off and take them to an auto parts store. In this case, I suggest Napa because the counter guys are ASE certified and they should be able to identify the part for you.
