I had the same issue - replaced the so called "T-section" for about $40. You can do it yourself with a screwdriver - it's not too complicated. You will need to buy the part new, as you won't get that at wreckers - it's a common defect.

Just have some extra coolant at hand, as you'll need to fill it up completely again.
