Where can i get these and what are they called?

[EIPtuningR32]

hello, i just started my car and despite all of the billowing smoke, i noticed there was a puddle of rusty water under the car. i took the intake stuff off and saw it came from these things. they are two pipes carrying i think coolant on the passenger side of the engine bay. where can i find new ones? i hope they arent like the return and supply fuel lines that i had to have custom made....

do they normally leak? actutally, should they be leaking if the A/C is off and has been for 3 years?

its quite possible that you actuated the windshield washer system and the broken hose was spraying the rusty water thats in the tank into the engine bay.
You can check the tank by removing the right front fender liner and checking the tank, if its rusty it should be flushed out and the metal collars in the fill tube and the tank inlet should be removed. Flush the tank out of the car.
There really shouldnt be any rusty water in the coolant lines as there isnt enough metal line to rust...
EXCEPT for the metal line that runs along the AC lines, it is also possible that this line has rusted through it runs from the front of the right cam housing to the bottom of the coolant tank

i know i didnt hit the washer thing cause......i didnt hit it. is it where it is in a normal car? you just squeeze the wiper flicker thing? i did recently put in coolant flush.....

well you can test the wiper washers by turning on the key and pulling the lever see what comes out of the squirters if they work at all.
If they look like they are working then the metal line that runs along with the AC lines may need to be replaced due to corrosion

no i just went out and checked it and there is no water in the reservoir so it couldnt be the washer

There is a metal Y pipe that is part of the coolant system and runs along the engine bay and it does rust out. I believe it is the larger pipe in your picture, look at the ends.

As for the washer tank were you referring to the one at the front of the engine? If so that is for the high intensity washer solution the regular tank is behind the passenger side wheel and not very accessible.

well they are both empty. and what is this "high intensity washer" people talk about?

Next to the intermittent washer delay dial there is a little push button which adds the solution to the washer system. From memory the button is under the pod on the left.
