It all started with a hole in the hose that connects to the heater valve. got that replaced and had to change the thermostat because it started to overheat. now I have coolant leaking out of a hole located on the passenger side below some belts.

Hello,

This sounds to me like you have coolant leaking out of the weep hole in your water pump. This happens when the bearing in your water pump wears out, usually through normal wear and tear. I have included a few links for you to go to below:

Please go through these guides and let us know what you find out and how things are proceeding.

Thanks,
