Well, you said it was leaking through a bolt by the coolant container. That is where the leak is. More than likely the reservoir is leaking.

AnswerI had a 2000taurus that had a messed up reservoir leak right by a nub that held it in place. temporarily switched it out for a used one, that one cracked as well. had to buy a new one from Ford costing about $60.00

Why does the 2000 Nissan Altima go through coolant?

You should able to tell if it's leaking so I assume that you are not seeing any coolant where you park so it's a good chance you got a blown head gasket and the coolant is leaking in your cylinders and being burned off or leaking into your oil. Check your oil after running and if it is foamy it has coolant in it.

If the heater core is not replaced can it cause damage?

If your heater core is LEAKING engine coolant so that your engine coolant level drops too low or the engine coolant is lost completely and causes your engine to overheat then your engine can be damaged beside the mess the leaking coolant makes inside your vehicle ( you might be able to just temporarily bypass the heater core so that no engine coolant is flowing through the heater core )

How would you repair a 1994 Olds Acheiva that is leaking coolant from a drain connection on the firewall?

The only hose connections at the firewall that contain coolant are the connections at the heater core. You either have a loose clamp or the compression fitting between the steel and metal parts of the hose itself are leaking. If there is coolant leaking out of an drain at the bottom area of the firewall, there's a good chance that it's leaking from the heater core itself, through a drain pipe which is the same drain pipe that removes water condensation from the air conditioning.
