Heater core?

swtstang · 05-18-2001, 09:21 PM

There is some radiator fluid leaking out of my firewall on the passengerside, directly across from one of the heads. Is this the Heater core? If so how much and I've heard it's hard to fix, is it? It only leaks when I get on it. Thanks

The A/C should still work fine. The core is just rotted probably, and leaking all over your carpet. I changed one in my friends '85 GT a couple years back, it was a b*tch, but is very doable. Probably take you 3-4 hours.
