Unfortunately today I came home to coolant spraying out of the kidney grills. Upon further inspection (see pictures below) I find that the hose connected to where you put coolant in is split on both ends and needs to be replaced? What part do I need to order and would I need to do any other additional work to fix this? Any help would be greatly appreciated please..need my car up and running soon!

That would be your coolant overflow. Probably dealer only. You may be able to grab a piece of hose from lowes for a very short term fix. But not I wouldn't if I didn't absolutely have to.

You have two options. Buy the complete hose from the dealer for $80 or you can replace with metal AN fittings.
