Red face A coolant tube mystery tour

I (fairly) recently posted about a coolant tube that's mysteriously disconnected and just hanging out in the engine compartment. I didn't have pictures at the time, but I've taken a video, and posted on youtube.

basically, what we've got here is a coolant line that comes from the tank, goes over the radiator, comes down into the oil cooler(?), dives down through the engine compartment and ends up leaning (and open) against the brake fluid reservoir compartment on the driver's side...

Coolant loss is significant, as you'd expect. I filled that tank up 71 miles ago, and it's about 25% down from the fill line...

any help/ comments are appreciated.
