Need help identifying a hose
Discussion
Been working on my sisters car and found a weeping hose. However, I'm at a lost after some digging around various diagrams and websites to identify what this hose is. I can tell there's oil flowing through it as it's weeping.
Anyone who's good with finding PN's and a diagram of what it does would be helpful as we need to get a replacement
Car in question is a 2011 Fabia 1.6 TDI

That hose is a coolant hose from the after run water pump (thing with 3 screws in the bottom on the right in the picture), circulates water for a few min after engine switched off.
The oil is likely coming from the seal between the engine block and the oil cooler. Had a similar problem with my sisters Golf (same engine). Ended up replacing the whole oil cooler as it's plastic and from memory you cant get the seal on its own, you have to get the whole oil cooler with the seal.
To replace it you have to drain all the coolant and the oil, as when you remove the oil cooler coolant will run in to the sump so if it's not too bad wait until the next oil service is due to do it. We had to drain oil that hat only done a couple of hundred miles when we did it

Ahh thanks for the info, i wasn't sure if it was that hose or not!The oil is likely coming from the seal between the engine block and the oil cooler.

The oil cooler fix seems like a ball ache though
