Anyone know if there's a lot of flex there? Maybe worn motor mounts wiggled it loose?

The little plastic coupler dry rots over time and bam. Not coolant.

I’m ordering this part but is there a temporary fix I can do to get my car home ? I’m in a paid parking lot right now and my place is like a 10 minute drive from center city. I just don’t want to have to keep paying for the parking longer than I have to lol

just tow it home...

as other stated, this connector usually causes a slow leak, but your is broken in half. it is in a tight spot and be sure to bleed the cool system.

PVC coupler from Lowe's /Home depot, 2 hose clamps and some coolant. Looks like 1/2in size. The PVC couplers are gray in color with slip ends on both sides.

You can half *** it but don't go with nothing. The problem is if you create an air pocket. They can be a pain to get out.

Yeah dont want to half *** it lol. Gonna try and see if nissan has the part. put the part in and do a coolant flush and bleed the lines with a DIY. any tips or tricks?

I don't think there is any bleed valve. you may have to use a tool to pressure bleed the cooling system or take it to your local shop.
