Also, I would appreciate knowing the name of the rear hose which attaches to the rear of the left side's small cover.

Nothing about the small covers, but I figured out that the lump in the front, upper center of the engine which looked like an electric turbocharger is an electric water-pump. Okay, I also recently discovered that there are two spark-plugs per cylinder. Do the connectors to the plugs pull off? They seem pretty determined to not let loose. Yes, I need to print out some of the available shop manuals.
Read the manual, that water pump is actually an air pump. It pumps air into the exhausts at start up to warm up the cats. It only runs for 30 seconds or so. It is a common cause for problems when the relay for it gets its contacts burnt etc.
