    !998 Chevy Baretta question, help please

    I am having a problem with a hole in the firewall. It has nothing to
    do with the heater core as I can account for both the inlet and outlet
    hoses from that. It is a hole about the size of nickel and water
    drains out of it. The car came that way and I am wondering what this
    could be and where it goes. When I fill the radiator up, the water
    drains out of this hole. I need to know where the hose for this hole
    is supposed to go? Something was there, maybe not even a hose or tube,
    but I sure could use your help. Any ideas, please?

    I do not know for sure but I think this may be a drain for the heater/air
    conditioner case. If so, it would drain the water condensing off of the cold
    AC evaporator coil and also any rain water that made it in there thru the
    fresh air intake. If the radiator coolant leaks out of there, you have a
    leak in the heater core. In some cases, a leak where the hoses connect to
    the heater core can cause water to seep into the heater case and come out
    the drain. Many cars do have a drain hose connected to lead the drain water
    down under the car.

    hope this helps a little.

    Thanks Don, apparently what you suggested is the problem. In addition
    to your response, I called a few dealerships and they all said they
    same thing you did. Thank you SO MUCH!

    It's people, such as yourself, that proves that they are good decent
    people in Internet land willing to help others and that is a good
    thing.

    Best always, buddy,
    Otis
