How much is this going to cost... I open the hood and it looks like there was a war inside my engine...

Seems you answered your own question...
I just purchased a cherry 2000 and although its in mint condition, that line is corroded. I'm going to change mine before I have an 'explosion'.
It's a simple fix. You might consider changing a thermostat and other cooling hoses while you are in there.

Upper radiator hose. And no surpirse you found coolant everywhere.. when the t-stat opens that thing fills and flows with hot coolant. At least it wasnt anything very serious. $15 from AutoZone plus $3 hose clamps, just clean the coolant off and put the new hose on.

I've seen this pic before somewhere...
Yes Easy easy fix. 15 minute job - Dont forget to fill the radiator back up. Run the engine til the thermostat opens up and drains the radiator then top it off with antifreeze.
