Default 04 edge smell of burning coolant through vents

I have a 2004 edge with 81,000 miles and after driving for a bit, windshield starts to fog up at bottom center. Also there is a coolant drip coming from what looks like a spout coming from firewall on passenger side. Coolant drips out of there onto the pipe and the steam comes in through the vents. Is there supposed to be a hose connected to that spout?

Sucked on my '98, can't imagine on an '04. Takes time, good tools and really tiny hands...

x1,000,000.

I suggest removing the entire dash, its the easiest way. Trying to get to it from under the dash is an uber PITA.
