Help find part...

I woke up today to go to work, and turned on the car to be surprised by the coolant buzzer. After checking a couple things out, and doing the coolant gargle test the car started warming up thats when I saw the coolant leaking out from what I presume to be the pressure chamber? vacuum chamber?

here is a picture... ( the white circle is where the part cracked )



the black box cracked, and for the life of me I cant find it anywhere online to replace. If anyone can please help me I would really appreciate it.

I would say, anything other than the stock plastic piece is worth buying.

The man wouldn't tell you so if it wasn't..... take the advice and call them. Also -don't drive the car unless you want to buy a motor on top of that AST.

Yeah, I just let it sit until the part comes in. Can anyone explain what the AST does? Besides the obvious

It's there to help remove air from the cooling system.
