Hello Jay,
Is the hose you refer to a coolant return hose or a thermostat bypass hose. If it is a thermostat bypass hose, any automotive parts store should be able to offer a bypass hose close enough to work if you show them the old hose to match.

Good Morning Fellow 38rs!
Well it looks like what I thought was a post overheating head gasket leak turned out to be an almost imperceptible leak coming from a very old coolant return hose coming off the thermostat housing. Whodathunkit! Huge sigh of relief here.
In looking for a replacement Im having trouble finding a molded replacement hose P/N 298841 for our M-30. Ive checked around and nobody seems to stock it. Is there a high temp flexible ½ id hose out there that others have had good luck with? Or a source for the molded part? Im concerned with it kinking over that very short run.
Any suggestions out there?? Thanks much!
