I found where I am leaking coolant. It is from the Firewall out of a rubber looking circle on the passanger side. It is below the heater core hoses and above the H pipe next to the Transmission dipstick path.

What is this plastic Rubber looking Circle? Nothing goes into it. Is it part of the heater core from inside? All my hoses are new and tight and not leaking. Just that little circle. And it leaks onto my H pipe and really starts to cook.

I at least found the leak but need to know what to do now.

I found a tech article about getting a 5/8 to 3/4 heater hose repair kit.

Do I need to Drain the System to install the bypass??

Or could I just unhook the hoses and install the bypass?
