Default What part of the cooling system is this?

The family car has been passed on to me. In the past year she's been having leaks in the coolant but we never knew where it was. Now I think it's quite clear. But I'm not sure whether this is part of the radiator or if it's something that can easily be replaced! Need help! I'm a poor college kid and the estimate is $600 for new radiator with labor. And I saw a Volvo V70 radiator on craigslist for $100 but now sure if it's compatible.

I want to fix this up myself as I'm trying to get into Mechanical but it's really a shame that I don't know much about cars.

PS. as you can see on the first screenshot, there's a huge crack and the coolant just spews out and the timing belt is and the motor has lots of coolant residue on it
