Default What is Leaking?

Im in the process of changing my heater core and i was wondering what is in the black plastic box next to the heater core box?

Aslo if the circle at the top of the floorboard is leaking coolant what could that be?
>

Last question, the picture with the circle and arrow in it...that is under the hood on the firewall, that little circle leaks coolant, do you know what that could be?

The part you have circled is the a/c condensate drain.

Fixing it? How do you mean? It's purpose in life is to let the condesation from the air conditioning system drain. When the heater core goes bad, it leaks from the same place.

oh ok, so if that is leaking coolant then it would be the heater core to replace right?
