Default 82 corvette hoses and water leak

hi? on the passenger side of the car, inside the engine bay or under the hood. there are two pipes/lines coming from under the car and connecting to rubber hose. one is the fuel line and the other one i don't know what it is?

please tell me what is that line

my car was running and i see water coming out of that line i am talking . water was coming out like an open facet but with low pressure.

the air condition system is removed just has a heater system.

how can i stop water flowing out of that line? and why is water/fluid flowing out of that line/pipe and where is that water/fluid coming from?

my temperature gauge is not working as well. how do i test it and also fix it.

my radiator recovery tank has two outlets. one on the front of it and the other ontop of it.

the one on the front is connect to a hose that runs to the radiator.

Thank you for your help and guide and support

Without a picture we can only guess at what that "line" is.

Your temperature gauge may not be working because the wire has come off the sender in the left cylinder head between cylinders #1 and #3.

Or tranny cooler lines. 82s have electric fuel pumps. Do they also have a fuel return line?

The 5/16" steel line is the return line for the original CrossFire Injection.

Bubba has been under your hood and left his tracks.

the outlet under that see that is not connected to anything that is where the fluid is coming from. when i smell it , it smell like gas. this line is draining the gas out of the gas tank.

no more cross fire setup, what do i need to do stop the flow of gas out of this line. it just sit there and not connected to anything. gas comes out even when the car is not running. and it comes out a lot when car is running.

how can i stop the line from not wasting the gas.
