I had already replaced the radiator/water pump/all hoses, etc, and then I started getting that faint smell of antifreeze in the car. It was leaking slightly from the heater core and you could see a few spots on the carpet! Since it was the start of summer, I bypassed the core. Finally, after months of procrastination, I worked up the courage to replace the core myself. I completed the job this past Sunday, and all is well!
Welcome onto the boards there. Leland is not too far from here. Did you go to the Joe Alcoke vette meet in New Bern last May? Bunch of guys from Wilmington vette club were there.

There is a chance, but the real tell is if the floor is wet.
Yup.
When pulling off, and puttin' on new hoses onto the core nipples, you gotta' use CAUTION. The nipples will fracture and give you a small leak, BEHIND THE FIREWALL UGH.
