M y Carpet

I have a 1991 Z28 Camaro with a 5.0 305 engine and it looses water from the radiator every day. What really concers me is that when I use the A/C not only does it over heat but it also leaks inside the car. The passanger side gets flooded with water that smell like the radiator water. Is there any thing that can be done. If there is please help.

Sounds like you have a leaking heater core. I would get that replaced and it should solve your problems. Instead of the water flowing through the engine to cool it, it flows into the car and never makes it thru the block, thus the overheating.
