Car never showed hot temp on dash gauge. At idle on the side of road while talking on cell phone, steam poured out from hood.

Neck, or flange, or whatever, that comes out from radiator at top left separated from hose.

Inside this broken piece of plastic that used to be C clamped to the upper radiator is a metal sleeve. We might be able to JB weld this sleeve/plastic broken part into the radiator and secure with C clamp. To limp home tomorrow.

Anybody ever have this little neck or whatever separate from the hose at the top of the radiator? What causes this, any idea?

Okay, about 30 miles before this happened, while on the highway, Check Engine Light came on. 300 miles from home.
