One of the hoses to the left of the engine cracked as I was flooring through an intersection. I am certain it is coolant that sprays out of it when the engine is running/idling. It is a small crack, and fortunately I was so close to home engine did not overheat. I am not sure what hose it is, it is not the upper or lower radiator hoses, it is smaller.

Looks like a heater hose it may have clamps at both ends and are available at auto parts. You can use their pressure checker if they have one to validate it. There are a couple one is a molded hose to heater valve and then others are large and small sold by the foot.
