I noticed a big coolant leak from my car, checked underneath the car and found a cracked part at the coolant drainage plug. Can this part be replaced and what is it called? Thank you

Hello,

If you mean the drain plug on the radiator (see attached video) only the screw in part can be replaced (drain plug) the rest is built into the radiator so if it is damaged you will need to replace the full radiator.
