Small Radiator Hose Broke, What part? How to replace?

Good Morning,
I have a Mini Cooper S 2003, recently the Radiator Hose is leaking all the water out and my car keep getting overheat.
Does anyone know what part is it? It is about 4 inches long.
Also, I can't access to it because the space is too small for my hand or the tool to stick in. How do I take it out?
Here's the picture i took.


It is inside:

Please help.

Sorry to hear about your problem.

This site http://www.bmminiparts.com/Search.aspx will help you identify the part.
Go to the "Search by Vehicle Attributes" section and select "MINI", fill in the options for your model and you'll end up with access to exploded drawings showing all the parts that make up your car (in various categories), you'll find the part number and description to enable you to order it. When you find what you need someone here may be able to tell you how to change it.

Good luck.

I suspect that the car is usually put in service mode (radiator tilted forward) to replace that hose. Basically the front of the car is tilted forward and held in place to gain access.
