I was changing the thermostat, the smaller hose, not the one from the radiator. The smaller hose goes into an aluminum type tube, in this time where it curves around the engine is cracked and or ruptured. What is this time called, and where does it lead to?

Do you mean this hose I have pictured?

If it is incorrect, can you post a picture of the line for me to see?
