Leaky Steel Radiator Pipes Behind the Fan

Has anyone had a problem with the steel radiator lines in the front (right behind the fan - two pipes running to the left side of the engine). The pipes are leaking right over the serpentine belt, flinging coolant over the front of the engine bay. The parts diagram calls it the Water By-Passenger Pipe #1 (#16268-0P030). These pipes seem to go around and under the engine. I was not able to find any instructions for replacement. I am wondering how big a job this is. Any help would be appreciated.

In the picture, you can see where the coolant is dripping on the belt. It's leaking under the rusty mount.

 

I would first check the upper radiator hose and the smaller rubber coolant hose connections.
Perhaps disconnect, clean, examine carefully & reconnect them both before diving into replacing the steel lines below.

 

Already done that. We hoped it was simply a rubber hose leak. It is unquestionably the steel lines where welded to the rusty bracket. We were able to trace the drip back to the underside of the bracket, and actually see the drip form and travel to the right before dropping.

 

Black pepper in the coolant, wash out the engine bay and put a for sale sign on it.

 

Haha. I don't give up that easily.

An option if replacement is too complicated would be to cut the pipes to the left of the bracket and use a longer hose to connect the pipes to whatever they are attached to. I'm considering it. the cost of some hose and a few clamps will be cheaper in time and money than tearing it all apart.
