    I was looking around under the hood and noticed a plastic T with two rubber hoses attached, and one end of the T open with no hose. This is on the drivers side in the engine compartment toward the fire wall. Why would this not have a hose on it or at least some type of filter?

    I looked at this thread first. I don't think it's the same. On mine no hose exist, and it is further back toward the fire wall.

    Most people own cell phones. If you do not, I am sure you know someone that does.

    99.99999% of cell phones have a camera

    Take a pic and post it for all to understand your issue.

    If it's what I think it is, it's the coolant bleeding port, should have a white screw in stopper. Again, this a is all "think", release the stopper to purge the cooling system of air when refilling.
    Anyhow, that's what it looks like to me.

    I will try and get a picture later today or tomorrow. It is an open connection with nothing attached, and no plug.
