Hi Doug, it sounds like you may have a broken plastic coolant hose, and if that;s the case, you should be able to fit the hose over the pipe after removing the broken-off end. 
If the hoses are OK, check the bleeder on the passenger side top of the radiator. If no one else has offered yet, call me at 206-878-8423 and I can come up to help you -I'm about 35 miles south in Des Moines.

Seeking a little help or at least some moral support.
Drove over Stevens Pass to Seattle for a Drs. appointment and my '84 was running like a champ.  Between Monroe and Bothel my heater started blowing cold.  I got into Bothel and bought antifreeze and water from a grocery.  Added them and drove a little further but still no heat. Bought 3 more gallons of water and started adding them as the engine ran. Finally I saw fluid running out of the front.  Passenger side under the radiator. It's too dark and I'm too tired to look at it tonight but I need to get it resolved early tomorrow to get to my appointment by 11:30.  I'm using WIFI at Denny's around the corner from where I'm going to stealth camp in the QFC parking lot on hiway 527 and the 405. Can anyone guess what I'm going to find and how hard it will be to fix. I've never explored that part of my van much before. Anyone nearby that I could hire to help?
Thanks.
I'll hang out here for a while and then check again in the AM.
