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??

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.
