im kinda blown away right now with this info. this whole time I thought that tube acted as an overflow drain for the closed system. now i realize that all the fluid i have seen literally pouring out of that tube has either come up through the burp valve, under neath the cap, or out of cracks on top of the tank! I'm amazed that much fluid went through that hose and never once overflowed into the trunk compartment. This makes me much more confident in the decision to replace the burp valve since I really dont think there are any cracks (pressure tester will arrive soon so will know for sure at that time) and its definitely not the fill cap.
Thanks again fan! I owe you!

Hey Ike! Happy to help! That port is very difficult to see from the rear trunk access. Removing the old reservoir made it much easier to identify!
I'm hoping that replacing that expansion valve will fix your issue. Like you said, there's only 3 ways for coolant to get to that hose and with a new cap and a presumably functional coolant reservoir, there isn't much else it can be!
You owe me nothing, you and a few others got me through my fuel injector/MAF issue a few months ago, I'm just happy to be able to pitch in! Keep us informed on your progress! Good luck!
