Cai - Help

[superdoopercooperman]

So I am installing my cold air intake system myself. I am not an expert, but am picking up a new hobby. Here's my problem:

I can remove the stock air box, that part is all good. I have attached two pictures illustrating my problem. Close to the fuel injector, there is a tube that comes out of the air intake hose, which connects to the engine (highlighted in blue in the second picture). There is a tube that came with the cold air intake which (I would imagine) would replace this hose. However, this tube (from the stock air box) is bonded together with another tube (not connected, just joined with some black sealant stuff), and this other tube is highlighted in yellow in the second picture. I don't know what the second tube is, and I don't believe it's part of the air intake system. My only problem is I think need to remove the blue-highlighted tube so that my new air intake can fit...if this is the case, should I just yank it out of place? Is that other tube something I have to be careful with? Thanks in advance.

Do not mess with the yellow one. It's radiator coolant. Just undo the clamps on the blue hose than runs of the intake manifold to the air intake tube. Just push it down and install your new hose and you should be good. If later on you wanna but a piece of steel tubing to go where the yellow one is then you can, but just don't disconnect it and leave it off or you'll leak coolant all over the place.

Okay, so I have good news and bad news.

The good news is that you were helpful and I got my new intake installed. It looks sexy, and I had to remove the battery to get out my old air intake, but it's all good, and the car is back together.

The bad news is that I now have a coolant leak. I didn't mess with that 'yellow' tube, but it was attached to the other one. I just pushed the other one out of the way, but I think there must have been a poor seal or something because it shifted the position of the coolant tube, and now when I run my car it leaks all over the place....now what?
Edit: The tube that is leaking says "Transmission Oil Cool" on it

Go to an auto parts store and ask for a peice of tubing that doesn't have the second hose on it (the one off the intake). That are kinda pricey though for a small piece of metal. It may be tranny coolant. I haven't played with a D15 in over 2 years.

take zip-ties and tighten the ends until you get it replaced, some tubing or like said the metal tubing/or plastic-high temp to join together.

I had the same issue wayback, the front piece was leaking after the CAI, as I just re-positioned the two-metal pipes.
