Default Coolant leak found- what is this part called?

Hi guys,

I've got an AU3 XR8, found that the dashboard light for coolant levels were showing, so opened up the bonnet this morning to find:
1. low levels in the reservoir- which was quite dirty with rust particles
2. coolant leaking from a hose coming from the engine body, and connecting to 3 other hoses at a location in front of the front passenger window (see picture). Does anyone know what this part is called, and whether it's a simple replacement? The plastic connecting part was cracked, as you can see from the pic.

Any other tips regarding 'flushing' the cooling system? I'm a noob to this all. And also the difference between Ford WSS M97B44-A and ESE M97B44-A coolant? I can't find the find the former (the manual specifies it), but can find the latter at Supercheap Auto and Repco- so wondering if it's ok to use them interchangeably?

Thanks
