Coolant leak found with blown thermostat.

I have had a 3rd gen 4WS si since 2001and been using her as my daily driver. Just recently have been taking the time to give some much needed TLC. I have done basic maintenance, oil, plugs, brakes, and she has treated me well. I just replaced my thermostat (see the pictures wow) and identified a cracked hose in my cooling system, but am not sure what hose it is. It is a smaller diameter hose 1/2-inch and comes off of a "T" junction just below my distributor and above the lower radiator hose. Is it a part of my heater assembly? Thanks, it is leaking onto the engine block and buning off causing coolant smoke.
Also, I am curious as to what engine I have exactly. It is a replacement from Japan, emissions pull. Stamp on block says B20A 5935111 is it a true B20A? It used to fly back when it had about 125k less on it, but now that the tranny has 245k I am happy to take my 12 mile drive to work each day
Thanks!
