sooo heres an update!

went out tonight did the brake booster vacuum hose tune up in a can to purge my carbon problem, and it worked! although i found something else.. went inside the car to turn on the heater to see if my fan would kick on it didnt.. and under the passenger side dash its dripping.. im guessing that would be a heater core .... anyways, can anyone help me out? aswell i got overheating! what should i replace to try and fix this problem it gets very hot.. not sudden but overtime sitting in idle..
