What is this part?

Hi,

today, I noticed I had some coolant leaking, and I noticed it was leaking from this piece.

It actually broke apart when I touched it, so lucky i didn't lose it while driving.

What is this called?

I want to look it up and see how much it costs.

Can also be eliminated if you don't feel like replacing it.

The aftermarket ones you get at most stores are flimsier plastic than the GM ones, but cheaper. Just don't try and overtighten old hoses that are fitting looser now, you can easily crush the plastic ones. You know how I know that
