Default Coolant SPRAYING out!

I noticed out of the blue that my AC kicked off and it was blowing warm air, at the same time the voltage dropped to about 10. Car stayed running. While the air was blowing warm I noticed a coolant smell. Come to find out, while car is running with AC off it doesnt spray, but with AC ON, Coolant starts to come out of a little fitting. If you stand infront of the car, the fitting is just under and to the right of the throttlebody. The car JUST started doing this out of no place. It is a 2001 Z28. I took a pic of where it comes out. ANY HELP is appriciated!

I think that should run to your radiator below where you would fill. Seems like you are missing the rubber hose that connects from there to you radiator.

No the hose that goes below the fill on the radiator goes to the overflow tank. that tube should have a rubber hose that goes into your throttle body, and then another hose from your throttle body back to radiator (near where sunset01TA said the other hose goes)

...unless thats what you meant sunset ha

but nonetheless it should go to your throttle body

I wonder if the guy that owned the car before me tried that TB mod, Could I just take it off the tb and attach it back to that spot?

delsold your posts makes sense after researching this. It looks like previous owner FAILED while doing TB mod. The other side of the tb has a little stopper on it so it appears plugged. What Im getting ready to do is unplug it from my tb and plug it back to where it belongs, and then I'll have a completed TB bypass mod.
