if it has no cats then you dont need it. supplies oxygen to the cats from the smog pump. as for the leak, has nothing to do with it.

cause it was fine and then i took it for a test drive and when i came back it was leaking from the tempeture sending unit and i was thinking that me plugging the rubber line with a bolt maybe put pressure in the system

if that was the case, putting a supercharger or turbo on a car would cause coolant to spew out.
