Help with coolant part broke off what can I do?

I was driving along then out of the blue the coolant buzzer goes off. The e coolant line that goes from a hardline to a rubber line then into the drivers side of the block. The other piece looks to be going into the top of the trans. It broke off about 2" from the block, I rigged it up so I can drive it for a while but was wondering what can I replace it with? Does the broke piece up screw from the block? What is the piece called if I need to order it from mazda? The piece is in between the firewall and the spark plugs and used to stick out about 3 " Any ideas ... thanks

That part on the engine was a plastic pipe wasn't it? If it's the same part I'm thinking about the plastic pipe snaps onto a metal pipe on the engine block, am I right? My plastic pipe actually blew off the metal pipe during a hard launch. What a stupid design Well, I just removed the plastic part & clamped the hose back onto the metal pipe. Been like that for a few years now with no problem.

Ok do i just break off the rest of the plastic or does it unscrew from the metal thats connnected to the block. Thank goodness there is metal to connect to not just the plastic.

Just break it off, it's useless anyway.
