Default Intake water leak

Well Im not to sure how many of you have had this problem, but the Tube in the back of the intake...Not to sure what its called but its way in the back coming from the heater core ? anyways some type of inlet or outlet.. completely busted in half on the way home today... I only have 70k miles ? is this common ? and what can i do to fix it ? have to get whole new intake ? Thanks for all your input.

That is the coolant flow into the heater core--you need a new intake manifold. Get the FRPP unit from American Muscle, best deal there is...

That, or you can always buy my intake manifold. It has maybe 5k miles on it. That picture is from my previous intake that had the same thing happen. I no longer need the new one that I have since I am doing a complete engine build. If you want/need it let me know.
