Your heater core has sprung a leak and that "nipple" is the drain port from the heater core housing.

Unfortunately, the dash must be removed to change the heater core. Expensive if you pay someone to do it... pain in the butt if you do it yourself.

You can get a 3/4 to 5/8 bypass fitting from an auto parts store. Just take the hoses off of the heater core and put them together. You won't have a leak anymore, but you won't have heat either.
