where would i go about buying the metal part of tube from ? i see water setting under my batt. and i have to refill my radiator every friday.

Are you sure it's the metal tube that's leaking? If the hose had a crack, the coolant might run down the outside of the hose and puddle under the battery.

That most likly is my problem bc i see the little puddle under my batt.
And air is in my system by the end of the week so i have to bleed it or im running hot . So could i just buy a hose and connect it to the metal or
will i have to by the whole assembly ? Thank i appreciate the help .

You will have air in the radiator whether the rubber hose is cracked, or the metal tube is cracked. Same with the puddle under the battery - either could cause it. A lot easier to check the hose than to be looking for the metal tube, which may or may not solve the problem.

I don't know if you can buy a new metal tube, or whether you have to buy a complete battery tray/reservoir assembly.

The metal tube and rubber hose assy is GM #10188032 if still available.

Well i don't know which one is cracked yet but if the metal is not cracked I can change the hose correct bc I think it's discontinued

If it is the hose that is bad, you can replace the hose with a length of vacuum rated (will not collapse under vacuum) rubber hose, of the correct diameter, available at most auto parts stores. Take the old one with you so they can help you match it up.
