umm well if this the line that it is coming from then it pretty sure you might have to pull the engine to replace it. i know that it is a metal coolant line that bolts around the block.

Looks like the hose that goes to the heater switch from the head to me. If that's it you don't have to pull the motor.

Step 1: Go to local Auto parts store.
Step 2: Purchase appropriate size heater hose (probably 5/8) and new clamps. Buy tools if you don't have any.
Step 3: Remove old hose and replace with new hose.
Be prepared to spill a little coolant.

Stop over thinking, just get it done.
