Well I took the car out of storage about a week ago. Well I have been in and out of the car over the last week or so not driving it but working on it in the garage and I noticed there was coolant on the passenger floor. Well I took of the lower dash to see that the heater duct hooked to the heater core was missing a screw and thats where the coolant was coming from. Could this missing screw be causing me the leak? Or is the core toast? Is there anyway if I don't use the heater to not have to replace the heater core right now? to many expenses already on the car.

You can bypass the heater core by simply placing a pipe between the inlet and outlet hoses under the hood, that way, coolant can flow, but, not thru the heater core.

Yes, your heater core is toast....

 

Heater core is toast troop....replacing it is a PITA. Good luck!
