Its a good thing that I already had fel-pro gaskets from when I planned on polishing the valve covers, so that gets done tomorrow too. BTW my girlfriend loves Berettas just as much as I do, but she wants a 2.3 GTZ HO.
Starting to want one myself. It's not going to happen though.

Yes that is the DRAIN FOR THE HEATER CORE COVER. Last picture I posted you can see the elbow at the bottom right. It does not connect to anything.

Your heater core inside the car has blown up, you need to replace it. That elbow is there to drain coolant OUT of your car and not on the floor when the core fails, as well as the water condensation thats produced when running your A/C.

I understand that, but Geoff stated that back in the second reply.

If that is a 90* rubber elbow, you have a bad heater core. Cheap part, can be a PITA to replace.
