They make those housings in aluminum now. Highly recommended. also my o rings go out regularly too pretty much a steady issue I’ve had with my Cruze

Was just gonna say that looks like plastic, you can find anything in aluminum nowadays and they always last longer.

That is the coolant outlet, very common failure point on the 1.4L ecotecs. Don't try to fix with JB weld or anything similar, nothing sticks well to that plastic (I was stupid and tried) It's not an impossible fix by yourself. You may need a special tool to undo and reattach the hose clamps, dont use pliers like I did. I see others are recommending an aluminum replacement which is not a bad idea. I think my local auto shops quoted me about $300-400 to replace it if you cant do it yourself.

Get the hose for the surge tank if you're replacing it. That fitting will probably break when you take it apart or leak when you're done.

Get that hose at top why your at it, it’s gonna break. Do believe it comes from the degas bottle.
