Coolant leak

I am leaking coolant from a **** I’m not sure which hose went on here. Any help? It’d leaking over my headers so it drips slowly on them causing smoke. I haven’t thrown any codes and my temps are always good. I just don’t know where to locate where this how was or if that was cover somehow.

Not coolant, thats water coming out of the Evaporator housing inside the firewall, that's its drain hose

Its from the AC system, very normal on any vehicle with AC, as air is cooled the moisture in it condenses on the Evaporator and drips off, then drains out of that hose
AC is on all the time, especially when Defrost is on, it dries the air blowing on the windshield so it can evaporate the fog off of it faster

You'll want to check that water...
Pretty sure that the the drain where a leaking heater core drips from...

Clear, odorless - Condensation, no worries.
Brown/Green, sweet smell - Leaking heater core.
