Last week was wiring now I'm leaking radiator fluid. I went out to my car and had a puddle of fluid leaking from the firewall. There's a small rubber end that sticks out about an inch and the fluid runs from it while the car is running. What am I missing? Is it a hose or something supposed to be there? Its on the passenger side of the firewall. I thought maybe a hose came loose but everything is connected.

Sounds like you're talking about the evaporator core drain hose. When the A/C is running, the evaporator core gets cold. When this happens, water condenses out of the air onto the core (like what happens when a glass of cold water is left on a counter...) The hose is simply a way to drain this condensate out. If it wasn't there or became blocked, you'd end up with water in the footwells. If you turn off the A/C, you'll see the water eventually stop coming out of this drain pipe...
In other words, this is completely normal.
Except I never use the A/C and its not water running out, it's radiator fluid. Bright green, smelly fluid. What else could it be?
if its the heat core will the car overheat if i start driving it? I'm gonna take it to get looked at but I still need to drive it to work and back. Should I take some water and coolant just in case?
