i replaced the heater core 2 yrs ago. new water pump. rad done 2 years ago. just suddenly saw coolant on the ground this morning at work like one of the heater hoses to the core. dont know for sure yet. when i got home from work my rubber floormat was wet. looked and it was coolant. on the driver side. if the hoses outside are bad then could it blow coolant in and run to the driver side. never heard of that but theory sometimes helps. i know that heater cores usually put it in the pass side. i dont think that it would be bad yet though. ideas or any help would be great. couldnt find anything searching.

apparently coolant is now also dipping on the pass side. bought a heater core will replace and see if it fixes problem.

I am in the same position as you. Everytime I wash my car or use my car, I see liquid under the pass carpet and have to clean it with the vacumm before it gets worst. I even replace the core, hoses and still show signs of liquid of some sort. When I looked under my car, I saw a some liquid coming from a little crack in the chassis. I was thinking of covering it up but never had the chance to it

pulled out heater core. ended up being a loose hose. installed new core anyway since it was out. now i have a spare for my wifes car. no more leaky.

How hard is it to replace that heater core? Whats involved? Thanks.
