Hi guys,

I decided not to buy new part from dealership because it is very expensive and it is made of metal. I'm sure that would rust again so I decided to play around little bit.

I went to auto parts store and bought 4 meters (12 foot) of heater hose. Then I went to home improvement store and both brass couplings, clamps, etc... Total price for everything was about $25. Unfortunately I had to do this repair on building parking lot where repairs are not allowed. I have a very nice landlord (Thank you Dana!) so she allowed me, but anyway I couldn't spend enough time and focus on this enough to do this as I really wanted. So, my goal this time was just to make it work. Whole job took about 5 hours. It has been a week now since I finished this repair and there is no leaks.

Take a look at attachment for a photo of the final product.
