Thermostat bypass pipe?

[mjmcg]

I'm assuming this is the thermostat bypass pipe, or heater hose inlet / outlet... Just noticed tonight in the parking lot while at work I'd lost all my reservoir coolant, what sort of ache in my ass is this going to be?

**UPDATE... Nevermind, found the dorman part, ordered, simple twist n pull one bolt operation.
I just didn't know how to delete the thread.

Do everybody a favour and post a link to it,as there's the odd guy looking for that tube every once inawhile.
Don't be surprised if that "simple twist and pull" doesn't turn out to be all that simple,lol

That's some wild looking corrosion on the pipe. I'm trying to picture a Dorman twist and pull solution to what is going on, so ditto what Wild one said...
