The heater hose fitting on my car has broken right before I got into town :/

I was driving down the rode and smoke was going everywhere
Got out back of the car was covered in antifreeze and so was the engine bay.
Doing a little investigative work at home found out it was the heater hose fitting.

No fun

 

got any pics? was it the radiator hose? i'm confused

 

I had some pics, but I dleted them. It's a 90 degree elbow plastic piece that goes to the heater core I believe..

They look like this

 

Those are commonly called a "coolant elbow" and they are prone to failure due to what they are constructed of.
