Question Broken bayonet fitting

I have a 2011 997.2 GTS. I was working in the passenger side wheel well and broke the bayonet fitting located top right of the damper.
Can someone tell me:
1. what is the part number for the bayonet and tube?
2. where is it routed?
2. what fluid is it carrying?

Yellow arrow on the attached pick is pointing at the line that exits the bayonet.


Yellow arrow points at the line exiting the broken fitting.

Regading the clip, I would call your dealer as you will need to buy there anyway.

The line looks like a brake line, carrying brake fluid to the reservoir etc

definitely not brake system related. its a low pressure j2044 connector on the opposite side of the car from the brake reservoir and its not brake fluid - its pinkish fluid,

Trace the line that is inside the wheel well - does it go to the top of the radiator?
pink fluid would indicate coolant and there are breather lines from the top of the radiators.

in that case the line that disappears under the car there is ‘Breather Line Transverse’ 997 106 767 02
Look at this eBay listing to see if that is the connector you are seeing on your car (no affiliation) https://www.ebay.ca/itm/265284542034...mis&media=COPY

if this is the case it goes through to the other side and meets up with the breather line from the other radiator - on that side a line heads back to the coolant tank.

hope this helps
