Spark on side of engine

Ok heres the deal, this scared the **** out of me by the way.....while I was filling up the coolant level on my car(the car was on to let the air bubles come out) I noticed a little spark coming out of a connection on the left side of the engine(left as if you were standing infront of the car[side of intake]) the lil spark looked to come out of a circular type drum thing over the exhaust manifold....is that normal.....I saw it and I ran inside to get a flashlight to see it better but when I came back it wasnt doing it anymore.....Im real worried now....what the hell could that be? is it normal?!

I've heard of that before. I think it's thiss emission soleniod that comes on at a certin milage ie: the beginning of the cars life and at 100000 somthing miles. Hopefully someone can clarify this. Possibly do a search i know it's been covered before.
