2008 ram hose situation

[2008ram57]

I'm pretty sure a hose is supposed to go here. Anyone know the name of it and where it us supposed to connect to?

What you are seeing there is the drain for the HVAC housing. No hose needed like @HemiLonestar pointed out.

Like others said, that is your air conditioning drain.

You know the dripping/wet spot you see when a vehicle's A/C is running on a warm day? That's where it comes from. Condensate drain.

Appreciate the response. I filled up my coolant a few days ago at both the radiator and the reserve tank but the reserve tank seems to be low again so I was looking for a leak or something and thought that might be it.

Gotcha. No worries. If you do have a coolant leak te best thing to do is go by your local auto parts store and borrow/rent a cooling system pressure tester so you can properly pressurize the cooling system and visually inspect everything for leaks.

As mentioned by Fast69Mopar, get yourself a coolant pressure test performed at either a shop or rent the tool from a local auto parts store.. If you dont see leak externally, you could have a leak internally which could be a much bigger headache. Drain your oil and see if you have any off-white colored fluid, this would be an indication that there is coolant leaking inside the block somewhere.
