What are the two small hoses that run from around the thermostat around back of engine. One is leaking antifreeze under pressure.

Can you get a couple pictures of these lines? Are they going around the thermostat housing or are they coming from the housing?

Also when you say they leak under pressure, are you pressure testing it like in this video below? How much pressure are you putting on them or do they leak under normal pressure when the engine is running?

Take a look at the diagrams below that will show a little more detail.

However, if you can get some pictures that will help us identify them for replacement.

Thanks
