I am a FOOL! I let my mom drive my car only to later find out something bad was going to happen. She said the coolant light came on so she pulled into a gas station and called someone else for a ride. When I got to my car, I bought coolant and drove it home and everything was fine. But when I came out to my car later there was coolant all over the ground. So I start investigating and find out the leak is by the fireware so my first guess was the heater core or the 2 hoses going to it. But, of course it couldn't be that simple!!! Its not the heater core or the hoses connected to it, but its a hose coming out of the firewall. The wierd thing is, the hose looks like it has a factory cut on it. Its a perfectly straight cut, so now I'm thinking that there is a part missing or the hose was designed to let out excess coolant. ???? Not sure what the problem is but if anyone could help that would be great. I have a 90 beretta. Thanks
