Hi,

Can anyone tell me what this part is called? My MP3-500 sprang a leak some time ago. I believe the clamp that kept these two hoses together rusted away. I can't seem to find the part on any website or diagram. There's a spring in the bottom hose which appears to push on a valve. Any ideas? Sorry for the blurry picture but it's the best one I managed to take.

It looks like coolant.
