Help Identifiying post Head Gasket problems

[36ounces]

Alright so I recently finished changing my Head Gasket and as I was starting my car and letting it idle I noticed that the water/coolant was starting dripping out from the area circled below.



Could it be because I may have hooked a hose wrong ? Or possible missing one completely?

Also some other issues that arose were

- High idle when parked (2000 rpm) but idles fine when in drive
- "Engine Oil Press" light comes on even though oil is topped up
However could using 5w 30 oil be the cause since its thinner ?

Its been months and would hopefully like to get my car back to normal
Asap.

Thanks!

That makes sense, would it be possible just to plug that hole ?

You live in colder climate. I highly suggest that you DO NOT by-pass the line to the heater in the throttle body. It is not fun when your throttle freezes up at an in-opportuned time.

I'm wrong.
The smaller hose in your image is the one that would be attached to throttle body on mine and the one circled in your image is the one going to the heater core in mine. I had to assemble my thermostat housing and hold it at the angle presented in your image and can confirm that is the connection for the heater core.
Mine looks to be stock.

So it would be that I am missing a hose then ??
