im leaking coolant on the right side of the drivers carpet. it just showed up today. what do you guys think, is my motor going, or is there some hose that just needs to be replaced? help please!

 

Drivers Side Carpet...hmm sounds like a coolant hose but I think the heater core is on the passenger side...

 

how would i go about finding and fixing? is there any chancew it could be my engine? coolant seals?

 

Well, peel back some of the carpet on both sides, turn the car on and have someone squeeze the top rad hose (after the cars warmed up, the system has to be pressurized)

 

It is the heater core. The coolant can go where ever it wants when the heater core leaks, trust me I had it all over the place when mine went.

 

its the heater core. finde where it goes to the firewall. cut it and block it off. just be sure to never need to use your heater.

 

Why do a half-assed thing like that? Just fix it. I never understand why nobody wants to fix the problem they just want to patch the problem

 

how do i get to it and/or fix it, i need my heater. is there a write up, can i patch it? how much is a new one

 

Jeez, Remind me to NEVER buy anything from you!!


Check the FSM. It will have detailed instructions on replacing the heater core.
Some heater cores are a bitch to get to. Ive never done one on a 7 so im not
sure how bad its gonna be for ya. Good luck!

 

lol why cus my car runs fine? everything i find that break on my car i just throw away. ****, my batery is just laying in my engine bay. nothing holds it. just the sheer weight of the optima keeps the thing in check. even while doing doughnuts. oneday ill duct tape it down for good measure.

 

check to see u should have a black box tht the water goes in and then u have a hose that goes through ur fire wall and ut dumps it out side...so check that hose and the box thts under the heater blower i think

 

I have a brand new heater core i bought and never installed. I will give you a great deal on it.. PM me
