There is a bleeding procedure

Awesome! I ordered a new hose and gallon of coolant from FCP Euro for about $63 delivered and will do the repair myself.

Super easy to DIY.

Since the failure was clearly a broken fitting, and not just the plastic hose, did you get that part, too?

^^^ this. That little 90 degree elbow thing is what broke. The tubing is not yet broken, but you’d have to whittle the barb out or trim it and see if it fits, or replace with regular rubber coolant hose.

The fitting is the plastic hose. They're all one part.

I wonder if the alternator can power a whole house at this point.
