BKD Coolant leak from pipe on cylinder head

One of the family cars has developed a significant coolant leak. I've sourced the leak to this pipe that extends from the cylinder head.

At first I thought there was just the one hole as shown in the picture and pushed the hose up further to cover it, but as it turns out there is also a small pin hole in the pipe closer to the head (where the red line is).





Has anyone come across this issue before?

From 7zap, it looks like there is part number associated with the pipe but I cannot find anything online about it or what it even looks like.

Well if the tubing was not mechanically damaged then it was from corrosion from not servicing the cooling system.

Agreed.

Sorry I should have been more specific with my question. Has anyone any experience with removing and replacing this pipe in the head?
