The Heater Core is leaking the fluid you see is being caught on a tray below the heater core inside the vehicle.

Age of vehicle determines that you get a replacement hose and clips first. Drain down the Coolant into a container, replace the hose, and refill, remembering you are going to loose coolant by spillage on the drain down.

There is a 90 degree rubber tube elbow that is at the bottom of the firewall. It looks as if it is a drain tube. There is antifreeze coming out of it. What does this mean?

Leaking antifreeze inside car. i want to bypass heater core if could until we can get it fixed. how do i do it?
Trace the 2 water hoses going into the firewall from the engine. Remove 1 and measure the inside diameter, most but not all GM heater hose is 1/2 inch. Go to the hardware store and get a plastic 90 degree plumbing elbow the same size and a couple screw hose clamps. Remove the heater hose from the firewall and connect them to the elbow with the hose clamps. Make sure they can't rub on the exhaust manifold and top up the rad and you are good. Hope this helps.

The coolant leaks right back out from a rubber elbow hose on firewall by the heater core. should it be conected somewhere or have a clamp?
if that elbow is very low on the firewall it is a condensation drain for A/C if coolant pours out of there I believe your heater core may be leaking. Do you smell coolant in the cabin? feel free to reply, I should be around most of the day...MK

Antifreeze spilling out rubber elboe under hood
If the coolant is coming out of a rubber elbow then that hose is the problem and not the heater coil. If the heater coil itself is leaking the coolant will be dripping on the right floorboard.

Coolant leak close to firewall from 90 degree rubber elbow. 93 pontiac 2.3 liter. It looks like there is a hose missing. Is this an overflow or am I missing a hose? If I am where does it lead?
hoses at the firewall connect the heater core inside the car to the engines coolant system.there are 2 heater hoses.the hose may have deteriorated or if the90* elbow has a clamp at the firewall end and is loose,the inlet tube of the heater core may be broken.use a flashlight for closer inspection.rapid coolant loss will result either way.

Wet floor passanger side
Air conditioning drain stopped up with debris (leaves,pine straw,sticks). Small tube sticking out from firewall with rubber elbow pointing down behind engine, passenger side. If elbow missing air will cause water to back up into vehicle. Another possibility, if your coolant is low heater core leaking.

Water leak overflow hose......
The hose you are referring to is the drain from the heater box...gets rid of condensation from the a.c. don't connect it to anything. But, If any antifreeze (not plain water) is coming out of there, then you likely have a heater core leak. That said, if the engine is not running hot and you aren't loosing antifreeze, the level sensor in the tank is bad.

Pontiac Grand Am cooling system
A rubber elbow coming out of the firewall is probably the a/c evaporator drain. However, the heater core could be leaking and entering the evaporator case and coming out of that drain. Are you sure coolant is coming out of that elbow and not plain water?
