Water hose pinhole under throttle body

Water hose pinhole under throttle body
What's the water hose under the throttle body for, and can I remove it or blank it off?
Mine just developed a pin hole and pumped half my water out!
Any one got one ( are these in the samco water auxillary hose kit ? ) or can I use general hose for now?
Thanks
Neil

You can remove the 2 water hoses that go to the throttle body and join them together, but you cant just block the one hose off though.
I would cap both the throttl body unions as well .
They heat the throttle body - more useful in the winter than the summer

There are 3 hoses under there, not exactly sure which one is pinholed until I strip it down, bet it's the 3rd one, the thicker one!
Thanks

PS Don't think the samco aux hose kit includes these 3 hoses!

Well, the 3rd hose - the bigger one, is for crankcase recyle and tee-s into the pipe to inlet manifild. So the 2 pipes to the throttle body are fine, I think!
