2001 Coolant Recovery Tank - broken...
I just was checking up on the car, topping off the coolant, and I found that I have a broken "T connector" at the bottom of the coolant recovery tank. I don't know how long it's been broken, but I know that I need to either replace the whole tank, or, if possible, just the "T" section from the bottom.
here's a pic, from the passenger side, bottom right side of the recovery tank. If the whole thing needs to be replaced, where can I get one here in Orlando super fast? 2001 Corvette
thanks

Recovery tank
I had a similar problem and got one from GMparts direct for about $40 via the mail in about 3 days. The chevy dealer was about $90. Its all one piece and not available a separte pieces. It took about 1 hour to repace. Fluid goes everywhere unless you have a skinny bucket to catch it all
good luck

Called courtesy chevy by the airport, he said $76something, told him my situation, looking on the internet until past midnight last night for this part, and he brought it down to 59+tax.
he didn't have it
called holler chevy in winter park, same price - told him my situation, he brought 10% off, to 65. either way I look at it, it's better than 90, and just 30 over what I wanted to pay, $35.
going to get it now, and install it - back later on.
