They will be somthing like this make sure you get the right thickness think it be 16mm http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2-T-PIECE-19x16x19-JOINT-WATER-HOSE-PIPE-CONNECTOR-WITH-6-CLIPS-LPG-AUTOGAS-/322585748947?hash=item4b1b9be5d3:g:Q9UAAOSwn-tZDjd5

Go to the dealer parts dept and ask for them to print a copy of the exploded parts diagram.

see attached pic of the coolant hoses and see if any are in the vicinity of where the water is coming from at the rear of the engine:

here is your heater core which would also carry coolant. it has 2 hoses that go in and come out of the core. see if water is coming from one of these hoses.

head should not have to be removed to replace the hoses and/or heater core, but it will not be the easiest job either.
good luck & hope this helped.

Perform a liquid block test (with the bottle of fluid over the radiator mouth.) If the blue liquid turns yellow or clear, you have hydrocarbons entering the cooling system (usually via head gskt.) If not, you have ruled out a costly repair.
Sounds like it overheats pretty easily, without t-stat! This block testing liquid is cheap, and will verify a suspected leaking head gasket without lengthy diagnosis. Hope it's better news, but good luck!

well the distributor may have a small crack in it.
Or the rubber o ring went bad.
either way the distributor has to come out in order to inspect.
take the cap off and mark which way the rotor is pointing in order to put distributor back the same way. white out works the best here
