Where Does This Hose Go?

I was looking into a faint coolant smell I started noticing in my car today when I noticed a hose just hanging not connected to anything. It is coming out of the firewall on the passenger side and hanging down by the catalytic converter. I have attached a photo of it. Anyone have any idea what this hose is for and where it should be going?

Thanks!

That is just the A/C drain plug. You should not have any coolant coming out of there.

Thanks for the quick reply! I was thinking it might be for some sort of drainage. Just to be clear, there is nothing leaking out of that hose. I just wanted to make sure it wasn't supposed to be connected to something.

I would look at the bottom of the radiator and see if its also leaking from the engine block. Also make sure the top tank of the radiator is not cracked as stock ones tend to do that.
