Default coolant leak/ over flow ?

so i was pulling into the tire place to get quote on new tires and my windshield fogged up bottom center ,, i thought thats odd ? came out of the place and noticed a puddle and dripping i thought when it rains it pours looked under nada popped the hood and its trickling out of an overflow? in the engine compartment at the rear passenger side ,, so what is this over flow ? is my heater core going ? / gone ? i looked at diagrams and couldnt find this drain / overflow in any of them ? ive been losing coolant i guess now i know were im losing it ,, looking forward to hearing your thoughts

Just a guess your heater core is leaking and the coolant is draining from the A/C condensate drain. Check to see if the passenger's carpet is wet. You can loop the heater hoses together and stop the leak until you tear apart the dash to fix it as long as you don't need heat or defrost. If you have a heater shut-off valve, remove it and toss it. You don't need it anyway.
