    Yup. This is connected to the drain at the bottom of the engine lower bulkhead/pan/firewall. Should liquid leak, it would drain there.

    Michel is correct. Its actually really convenient when draining the coolant during maintenance as you can just drain it into the firewall and put a bucket and some neatly situated aluminum tape to direct it from running down the belly.
