You are talking about the hard pipe, correct? I can't tell 100% but did it break off in the water pump? I've had that happen. You may also want to check the two coolant 'towers' just above the t-stat.
I have one that I could part with from my 96 Cougar. It's in better shape than it looks. I'll clean it up some.
