No. The top hose goes to the engine. The bottom hose feeds from the engine to the heater core back to the radiator.

1999 dodge caravan heater blows cold air?
First thing to check is open hood and feel heater hoses going into heater core located on r/s of vehilcle if sitting in driver seat.If they are both very hot and feel the same temp,blend door in heater box is not operating correctly.If one heater hose is hot and the other is cooler than chances are the heater core is plugged.In either case a professional would be your best bet for repair.Hope info was helpful.
Thermostat stuck will it cause antifreeze to come out the overflow hose of the heater core?
The heater core has no overflow hose. Cooling system is a closed loop system and the only overflow hose is the one going from the radiator cap to the reservoir. A thermostat that is stuck closed will cause the engine to overheat. Drain and flush the radiator, replace the thermostat, install a 50/50 mix of antifreeze and distilled water, bleed air from the system. You may also need to replace the radiator cap. Be sure and replace these parts with OEM parts.The heater core has no overflow hose.

Why you smell radiator fluid?
If you are smelling the sweet but unpleasant aroma of antifreeze, your vehicle is leaking it somewhere. A lot of the time the culprit is the water pump. They have a weep hole and when the bearing starts to fail it will begging leaking from this hole. I would start by getting myself a flashlight and start scanning your engine's water hoses for a leak. Check the mail hoses going to/from the radiator as well as the heater hoses leading to the firewall. Do you smell the antifreeze odor INSIDE the car? If so, it could be your heater core that's failing.
