Ok, here are some pictures.
in the first picture, the Red arrow shows where the coolant is leaking from. It supposedly comes out in a hard stream.
In the second picture, I have circled the "Y" pipe in blue. This Y pipe is connected to the hose coming off the manifold.
In the final picture the Yellow line points to where the water streams out, and the red arrow shows where the hose enters the firewall.
I believe that this may be due to icing up of the underdash parts which is causing the coolant to build up pressure and squirt out passed the hose clamp. I say this because when I had a problem with low coolant level once, I had a freezing problem.
Remember, I claimed ignorance of the way it worked, and I am giving you theories from that viewpoint....
Hope this helps.
