HOLY CRAP! Ok, I know its been a while since this question was posted but YES. It IS the heater hose intake/outlet pipe. I took mine to the shop last weekend expecting to pay a ton of $$ to replace a head gasket and the mexicans there told me I just needed a new O-ring... simple fix (after the entire top of the engine was removed)
Good luck...hope you got it fixed

There is a Plastic Elbow right above the water pump. It is connected to the Belt Tension er. Replacing this elbow should solve your problem.

Expertise
I can answer most questions on Chevrolet vehicles up to 1996, or before the ODBII.
Experience
I have been working on cars since I was eight, when I started handing my dad wrenches. I did my first complete rebuild at 14, and my first restoration at 16. When it comes to Chevy, if I don't know the answer off the top of my head, I can find it out fairly quickly. (My entire family is a bunch of gear heads.)
Education/Credentials
4 year machinist degree, with a 2 year mechanical drafting.
