Looking for a little help here. Just started doing my own work on my car and have a problem. The other day my car started to overheat. When I turned it off coolant started to spray out of the bottom. I got it home, blocked it up, and found that one of the bottom radiator hoses was almost completely disconnected. I tightened it up and I'm pretty sure that the leak is taken care of.

The problem is that when I was checkin out the top hoses I noticed that there were 2 small hoses that weren't connected to anything. I looked around a little and noticed that there were 2 places that it was possible that they could be hooked into. One of the hoses T-connected into the hose that goes from the top of my radiator to the overflow reservoir and the other connects into the top of the purge control valve. I took a picture of the place where the hoses would fit and attaching it to the post. I'm just not sure which hose goes on which connector.

In the picture you can see the 2 connectors on the left that the hoses could connect to.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

check your hoses, make sure they are stiff/hard and not mushy. pretty soon they might blow up. yes blow up lol

that part looks like the backet and hard hose off the bottom of the intake manifold.
