I just changed the oil filter housing gasket and I could NOT find a socket small enough to get onto the bottom bolt without removing this hose.

I'm going to attach a photo and I hope that someone can clarify for me that the fluid running through this hose is coolant. There is an arrow pointing to the hose that I had to remove to get to the bolt on the oil filter housing.

I was VERY VERY careful that no fluids were leaking at the same time - to avoid them mixing, but what I assume to be coolant is ALL OVER everything - is that going to cause some problems? (belts and such)

Thinking I could save $500 and do this myself maybe wasn't the best idea.... thanks in advance to anyone who can help me out here.
