Just checked it out on my a bit ago, both hoses running into the firewall are leaking on the cabin side. As to why they waited to start leaking until I got my swap in I don't know, maybe the coolant system is under more pressure with the B series. Anyways, can I put some silicone sealant on them or do I have to just replace them? For those who have pulled the dash, about how long does it take. After working on my car for a full 10hrs(doing the swap), I am about tired of messing with it right now.

Someone has to have done this

if you do not need heat right now, disconnect the hoses from the firewall and make a coupling to connect them to each other.
then at your leisure replace the bad hose or coupling or the heater core, whatever it is.

you can also remove one hose and likely use the remaining one to connect the two coolant ports out of the block.

removing the dash is a PITA but you may be able to squeeze the heater core out without removing the entire dash, but I am not sure...

Yeah, you have to replace it, sealent wont work.
