    I found my coolant leak today and there seems to be a metal
    pipe that runs from what it looks like the lower intake on the passenger side of the motor threw my altenator/tensioner bracket towards the firewall no luck seeing where it runs to from there.

    My issue is that its visibly squirting coolant when i give it throttle.Obviously needs replaced but no luck finding a description
    WTH is this thing called...lol
    Whats it run to?

    It's to the heater core. There's an o-ring on the pipe that comes out of the lower intake man. Is that elbow that comes out of the manifold plastic? Is it leaking from the manifold hole?

    What year is your car>? The elbow you are pointing is plastic and can be bought separate.
