Ahh ok, I believe that is the coolant bypass hose.
If that is what it is I could recommend a new hose, but there is a 4" and a 6" listed, and I am not sure how long the one you have is.
They are only about 2.50 to 5.00, pretty cheap to replace.

that brake light switch is a pain in the ***..harder on your body than changing head gaskets...about to break my ribs trying to break the old one out...the last one never would work and i had to wire the brake lights into the back window brake lights but then when you hit the brakes with turn signals on they would stop blinking...this switch is a dumb design...they should,ve left it like the older cars
