I was able to find the end of the hose from the engine compartment this time. It seems like pilot Ray was correct, as I can't find anything it goes to and it seems like it's the drain hose that goes thru the firewall and then down to the ground.

So I filled up with distilled water since it's well above freezing here and let the car warm up. No leaks, no nothing all the way up to 180°. So my plan is to drive it home tonight (25 minute drive max) and then get going on a coolant flush, vent cap and relief valve once the parts come in. I'm wondering if the cap failing was enough to actuate the relief valve and then basically everything that was supposed to happen in that case happened?

Edit: and get a good repair manual!
