Yes it is a quick connect fitting.
There are two types, one has plastic tabs, you squeeze them and connection pulls apart. This may take some work, because it looks to be pretty crudded up. If metal connection, you can buy an inexpensive special tool at any auto parts stores to remove.
Most cooling system are the plastic type. I would also flush the cooling system and get rid of that Dex-Cool (my opinion). Prestone, Peak and auto parts store brands can be used, they mix with any color, all makes, all models. This guide can help you fix it
