Message	Hello all, So upon pulling into my garage today I noticed a large amount of coolant pooled beneath the car no more then a minute after shutting off the vehicle. I drove it up on blocks, and this is what I saw: Sorry for the poor angle of picture, but I cannot tell where the leak could be coming from. It is wet all the way up to the oil filter with Antifreeze. I wiped everything down and started her up again however noticed no freshly leaked fluid. On another note, I was wiping down the bay and came across a hose with no plug or connection on one end, located near the battery. I tried to trace it but it appeared to be tucked down into the fender, and the open end was hanging down towards the back of the engine. Anyone able to identify the hose? Thanks, Trevor
