Default Ka....what coolant lines run from/to and whats should be there???

I have a little Ka i use to get to work and back as i do a lengthy commute. Great cheap to run little car and don't really care about others opinions of it, makes me laugh.

Anyway, driving into the airport the other day steam, overheating blah blah, thought this is the END. Nah, things might be slow and dodgy but the 1.3 is bulletproof (not like its stressed is it??)

I found a loose coolant line pumping out coolant when i threw some in. which came from the passenger side but so far haven't been able to suss much more, visibility sucks at the rear of the engine. Think it may be the line heading to the heat exchange for the heater, maybe. BUT....it still has it's clamp on and stops way short and i can't see where is actually goes. The heat exchanger itself has another line on it which is intact heading back towards the passenger side also, but the other connection isn't connected. I'm tempted to think someone has bypassed the thing and what i'm seeing is either something missing or some jiggery buggery bypass i can't make sense of.

I'll take a look later, but i was wondering if anyone with access would have a diag/pic of where the coolant lines run on the 1.3 Endura-E? If there's jiggery buggery i'd rather reverse that and get the heater back up and running, or at least know enough to get the cooling system temporarily intact again to get her mobile

Any help appreciated ;) I can find diags for PS and AC systems but not the coolant flow.
