2000 Saturn 3 door, return hose from antifreeze bottle goes to engine port, somehow this pkastic port broke, half still is hose, other in engine, I tried Kwik plastic from J B weld, no help. Looks like a costly replacement

Looks like you have a SC2 model thats common for the nipples to break on the plastic manifolds you can replace the manifold or get the repair they sell aftermarket for it I have seen. You have to remove the manifold and cut that port out with a hack saw then replace that part with a metal seperate piece so then you have a two piece manifold. If your intrested in the fix let me know.
