My '92 has developed a leak from the driver side plenum coolant air bleed hose at the 90 degree elbow fitting. It seems that the hose has failed as I can see coolant seeping from inside the hose where the threads are. Also, I am getting a small puddle of coolant on the coolant pipe block.
Does anyone know of a source for the hose In question?

It's common for the 90 deg metal elbow to develop a leak and look like the hose is leaking. This because it is stressed each time the plenum is pulled.

Thanks, I thought it might be that, so I checked. It's actually the hose. I can see it leaking out.

you can buy 5/16 hose at the auto store and trim to fit , alot cheaper than buying the nos stuff
