Inspection Tomorrow -Coolant Hose Leaking Tonight So one of my coolant hoses is leaking. It's starting to get pretty bad. I have no idea what it's called though. It runs from my thermostat area and up to a metal "T" where there seems to be a pressure valve. The "|" of the "T" runs somewhere unknown towards the radiator somewhat. The other side of the "_" of the "T" runs down past the battery and appears to head towards the heater core where it changes back into a metal line.
Any idea's what this thing is called? Where I can get it? And how much am I looking at spending? Or is there an easier fix than obtaining the OE replacement parts.
I am having the vehicle inspected tomorrow so I kind of need to have this fixed TONIGHT!
EDIT:
Fixed (Cell phone photo sorry):
It's leaking exactly where the finger is pointing at that metal/rubber end.

Anyone have an idea what the inner diameter is of both the hoses on that "T" connector? I am going to bypass the metal piece that's there now with a plastic "T" piece and new hose. I can't cut it first to find out the sizes 'cause I only have 1 vehicle to use (I'm in Jersey right now at the shore).
