I noticed today I was leaking coolant, just a few months ago I got a new radiator because of a leak and I thought it was happening again. I popped the hood and found the leak coming from this small pipe on the left of the engine and have no idea what it is or what I should do.

That's where it's coming from, what should I do? Please help, thanks.

 

i say clean that area well with some brake cleaner or something. then put a nice coat of silicone around it. or if you have jb weld then weld that area around it.

What? .... do you have a better picture i am having a hard time seeing the actual leak?

 

I'll take a better picture of it tomorrow, but the leak wasn't really bad until I was idling in a parking spot waiting for my girlfriend. When I drove away there was a nice puddle where I parked and it was full of coolant and I instantly smelled it the second I got out of my car to look.

your car doesnt need any redneck fix like jb weld, thats a pressed in fitting that feeds your tb for warm up, ive never taking one off but i would saying there is a o-ring in there that holds it in place. just go to a parts counter at a dealership and they can see whats in there in a parts breakdown diagram. im willing to bet its a o-ring though. if it is in fact a o-ring just pull and turn side to side with some pliers being careful nut to crush the fitting. the dealer may recommend buying the hole fitting which might not be a bad idea
