Leaking antifreeze
Ok so I'm kinda dumb when it comes to working on this truck I just got it a few weeks ago so bare with me. This morning when I got to work my buddy told me he could hear a hissing sound coming from under the passenger side of my 98 slt Durango. I looked under the truck and find there is antifreeze leaking out from a line. It looks like it might be to some rear heat plumbing of course. But my problem is 1. I don't have a clue to what the lines run to or if there high pressure or not 2. Google is about useless for me so far. Has anyone had this issue if so what was your out come and how hard was it to fix thanks in advance. Here is a pic 
That is right under the passengers chair
The bolt you see in the pic is to the track for the chair also if it helps any the arm rest in this truck does have heat blowing to the 2nd row seats

Pictures are worth a thousand words. Try to take a few good pics of the area where the hoses are, specifically the part of the hose that seems to be leaking. Can you narrow down where the hose comes from and where it goes? Pics help a lot and will aid us in helping you.

Buy a pressure tester and plug it into the radiator cap and give it 16 lbs or whatever it says on your cap.. That will give pressure and make the leak more hearable/visable.. Good luck let us know how it goes.
