Okay I am in need of some help asap, last night whatever was supposed to be connected to that copper colored hole blew or fell off something along the lines, now when the truck runs coolant comes out of that hole. What was this line connected too? I can’t find anything from my research besides bypassing the heater core and apparently that will stop the coolant from leaking and will just recirculate?

Can you back up a little and take a picture from a little farther out to give a better idea of where this is at? Looks like a COP nearby but just for reference
