Exclamation Lola has a coolant leak

I'm in lowell now so Paul won't be fixing it and i need it this weekend to be able to handle stop and go traffic. It's the hose that goes around the air box and its leaking where it meets the radiator and hopefully is not the radiator itself. anyone used pepboys for work such as this before? I'm thinking thats my go to option FYI most of the coolant leaked out and on my way back to my dorm from walmart felt power weakened in high rpms and decided to pop the hood rev to look for any problems and saw steam and the very small drip on the ground. not going to fill resivour til i need to drive it.
BEST PICTURE I COULD GET OF WET AREA FROM LEAK

I can honestly say...
I have never been or used pep boys... Do they do mechanical work...Other than just sell parts?

My best guess since Paul isn't available... Would be to let them do it....
I'm just not sure what the labor may cost you... Have you considered doing it yourself?

I'm sure someone will chime in with some more help!

That hose looks like an air intake tube so it shouldn't have coolant in it.
I would pressure test your radiator an look for a leak in upper hose or heater hose or radiator maybe leaking..

that is the air intake tube but it had sprayed all over it turned out it was a cracked radiator pepboys wanted 880 to do a thermostat and radiator 567 just to dothe radiator with a non GM part so i left after they said the car needed 1500 in repairs to be perfect. paul did my radiator with a new GM part for 328. now lolas good as new but i gotta stick with paul from now on. and will be getting AAA in the near future
