TB Bypass...or not

I have a coolant leak in the rubber hose exiting (I assume it is exiting) the throttle body (the hose on the Pass. side). Since I have no other mods, am I better off getting the replacement hose or doing the TB bypass?

On an unrelated note......anyone in the NY/CT area know where to find Seafoam? I've tried Carquest, Advance, Autozone, NAPA (in Mass)...I can't find it anywhere.

Yes just do the bypass. It won't hurt anything. It can only help. It is also a proven 5hp.

Bypass it. You don't need it, and you'll get a few ponies back when the engine is heat soaked...maybe 6ish rwhp.

In Alabama, I get my seafoam at NAPA. Also on the bypass, depending on what hose is cracked, you may need to replace it for the bypass.
