Default need help!

I have a 2004 Dodge Caravan that is leaking water/coolant under the passanager side door. I called the dealership and he said it is the return hose (he called it the (octapuss). Two lines that are attached to the main body with a bracket and one bolt. They charge around $160 for the part was wondering if there was somewhere out on the web that has it for less? If anyone knows please shoot me an email...faceitonline@gmail.com..thx

are you sure its coolant the rear heater lines run along that side you may have a leak there but your a/c drain is also on that side just under the pass side firewall and you will get water out of that it's normal. the best way to tell if you cant see any color in the stuff is do just as I say stick your finger in it . touch that finger to your togue then spit it out. if its sweet it's coolant and you know what water taste like

Is it coolant or water thats leaking in the passager side, and it coming from the heater box? You either have a plug drain or a heater core. From what the dealer calls it, I have never hear that term before and I work at a dealer.
