Possible Leak

Hey guys I gotta problem for yall to tackle
Would yall please take a look at these pics and
tell me if there's supposed to be a bolt or something
in this hole. It looks as if antifreeze comes out it.
If you need more pics just tell me.

hmmmm... theres a hose that kinda runs up above it to the
valve connected to the radiator. Do you think it might be leaking?

I think that is a hole for the bracket for the wiring harness I don't think it has a bolt in it ( it is held by 2 6mm bolts) and shouldn't be a problem.

If it is coolant it could be from the thermostat housing gasket or where the upper radiator hose joins the thermostat sometimes builds up with corrosion and dirt and will leak. Also make sure the steel coolant line the runs under the exhaust manifold and around the cyl head for the heater core is not rusted on the frt driver's side of the head. Thay are the most common places for coolant leaks on that part.
