Ok so i left my car at my sisters house yesterday and today i decided to go pick it up. know that it snowed pretty hard the day i left it there. so i began to back up and out of the garage. i go up the hill in the ally and what do you know, i couldnt make it because i have a weak ass FWD!! oh yeah i forgot to mention i own a 2.8 too! so i decided to reverse and go down the hill (not steep at all, just a fast turn around the corner to get to the main street) slowly i turn my wheel and what do you know i couldnt even make the f'n turn!! so there i was trying to get out of the snow bank. ok story getting too long, to the point! when i got out of the snow bank i noticed that somthing was leaking! i look under and i see a plastic tube rite behind the bumber on the passenger side cracked. it was leaking coolent! so my car started to over heat and i had to leave it there once again. can anybody tell me what that piece is?? or is it hard to replace?? sorry i have no photo! but i will post up the photos soon!! Thanks

not sure what the tube is called, but I think to replace it, you're goign to need to drain all the coolant out.

if you can drive it to the shop just fill it up with coolant and let it leak as you drive it there, you'll be fine if it's not a major leak...if it is you're just going to have to keep filling it up as you driving to the shop and pulling over to side every couple of miles if you start to over heat....that is if you can't afford a tow.
