Coolant resivour leak

So my cars pretty screwed, but one problem at a time..

Coolant is leaking severely.. Here is where it's coming from. Under the solenoid looking thing there is a nipple and it seems like it's either broken or a hose is missing. Anyone know what this is??

That's the windshield or the headlight washer pump. the plastic barb or the rubber grommet cracks.

If it is indeed coolant, then you have a possible leak on the windshield wiper heating element.
If your w.washer fluid is heated, there will be a coolant hose going to and from the bottle.
Look at the w.wipers reservoir cap. Remove the entire cap, not just the smaller one.
You will see some swirly metal about a foot long. Remove them from the bottle and run your motor and check for leaks.
If you are not 100% it is coolant, it could be your w. washer fluid which should have a blue color to it.
