I had to bypass the heater core tonight on my '88GT. I notice below where the heater core enters the firewall, down near the exhaust, there is a tube coming from the firewall that is dripping antifreeze. What is it? It never dripped like that before.
This short tube doesn't go anywhere and I didn't cut any hoses.
Is it somehow connected to the heater core inside the car?
Please help.

if your car came with a/c, your prob talking about the drain for the condensation in the heater box. if that is the case your heater core went bad and is draining out of the hole. thats the only thing i can think of. if your car did come with a/c and you have to change the heater core GOOD LUCK, its a pain in the you know what, i have had to change one on my 89lx and my 95gt. not fun. unless it came without a/c then its a snap

Yeah, I already know my core is bad. That's why I bypassed it.
I just didn't know what that tube was forr. It was dripping after I bypassed the core and that's what made me wonder what was going on. I guess I'll have to wait for it to drain whatever is left inside the core.
