your heater core is the problem. untill you have the time or money to fix it, i would recomend pluggin it as soon as possible to avoid money used on antifreez, and also a horrible smeel in your car. if you look in your engine bay, you should see 2 heater hoses going into the firewall. it is more than likely on the left hand side, although i am not sure on our car and am too lazy to go check. but just take the hose and do a bypass from going into the inside of the car. i think there miught be a tech article somewhere on the site to replace it.
