It's the thing right beside that black canister to the right it's pouring my coolant out it's not a bolt it's a piece of plastic with sealant around it Idk if there's supposed to be a hose there or what actually in this picture it's upside down so it's above the canister towards the block its in the center of the light

Probably the drain tube for condensation for ac... Means your heater core is leaking to the point its pouring out there.. That would be my guess..

Edit: you are the one with a bad heater core.. so yes thats what it is... Should have kept this in the original thread instead of making a new one

Heater core isnt really a hard job.. Its just time consuming.. And its not expensive to fix.. you can always bypass the heater core untill you want to fix it.. But depending on where you live not having heat probably isnt the best idea

I hooked mine back up so I'd have heat.

On the passenger side of the motor is a black hose then runs into the heater core, then there is a another hose that runs out of the heater core, unplug the one that goes in and plug it into the one that goes out. The hose that goes into the core should be 2 hoses clamped together, unclamp them, then run it to the out hose for the core.

Easy peasy.
