I have found a coolant leak on either the input or output hose coming out of the motor. It looks like some kind of valve with a solenoid on the end. I will post photos so you can see, if anybody can help it would be much appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My guess is the heater tap seeming solenoids are electric and electricity and water never mix well

The heater tap sounds legit I'll look it up however the solenoid and the water actually do not mix, the solenoid just controls the valve which is completely sealed. None less I'll look it up. And sabbath I'll post some pics and the location is underneath the drivers side engine cover right next to the barcode on your block. The valve and solenoid stand out like dogs balls and it's about 100 mil away from the connection to the engine
