Unhappy W203 C240 Wagon 4MATIC What is the pipe in front of the radiator and condenser?

I am totally unable to figure out what this hose would be even when I see where it leads to (lack of visibility). The pipe is leaking and I'm unable to find a part number for it. It connects to a hose "a 203 997 80 82," if that's any help. The car recently was in a front end collision which caused this. Thanks!

the pipe that's broken is the one you can see through the grill on the right side where it was was broken in order to lift the hood.

have you tried to google that part number?
Sometimes I am just flabergasted at how people totally miss the obvious.
the part is the power steering upper return hose. ergo...

I did, in fact, google it and it gave me the area but that part number is actually not the part I am speaking of it, just what it is connected to. So despite your ego, you are actually incorrect, I do however appreciate the effort! and attempt.

correct the part number you are referring to is the return hose from something that looks like a serpentine tube in front of the radiator and AC condenser exposed to cool air flow. What could it be?
Maybe a steering fluid cooling coil?
