The thin one will be air con, The black plastic one is your rad they always split on drivers side, Mine went the same way yours did i think when i changed the coolent it washed away some of the crap/rust/dirt that was blocking the crack and then leeked like hell. New rads can be got on fleebay for £100. i took mine out and fiberglassed it up till my new one turned up. it worked for a week then went again but by then new one was here.
