Default help me located this hose!

guys i have no idea where this hose goes to under my car.. it seem like coolant fluid is coming out from it.. it has a clamp on it but then it looks like its cut off?
im not sure its suppost to be like that... if you guys have time can you go check if yours are the same? it could just be a drain but as you can see in the picture i have a puddle of fluid

Yes, it is a drain and is supposed to be like that. But if you look closely, you'll see that's not where your coolant is leaking from. It's coming from above and dripping down around the frame and that other bit of tubing above it.

FIND YOUR LEAK!!

Oh no... maybe bad thermostat?

Does the car drip more coolant after you shut the engine off? Do you hear a coffee maker sound? Sounds stupid but that's the only sound I can compare.

Yes, definitely! First, I'd look under the hood with a flashlight. Just trace the wetness back to it's source. Once you have a better idea, start the engine and look again to verify. Don't get squirted in the eye!
