Whats up guys. . Alright, so I've already pin pointed the problem, now my main concern is the job at hand. So I have a coolant leak at the part in the firewall where the heater hoses connect to it. It's not the hose (unfortunately), but the actual part where it connect. It's a slow leak, but a leak is a leak, and it has to be fixed. So. . ., What I'm wondering is. . . Is it the kind of job that looks hard but is actually really easy, or is it a job that looks hard and is a huge pain in the ***. I'm a fulltime worker/student, so time is of the essence. Am I better off just having it done by a mechanic?

 

if im not mistaken, you gotta pull the whole dash out to fix it, good luck

 

so yea, HUGE PAIN IN ***

 

damn man, I so hope you're wrong

yeah, i hope im wrong too for your sake. but if im not mistaken, youll have to pull and check, or even replace the heater core, and if you have to replace the heater core i feel for your wallet too.

 

In order to get to the heater unit you have to remove the dash, if you've never done it before its pretty hard.

how is it leaking? Is there a problem with the spouts coming out of the heater unit?

also you could remove the glove box and take out the AC unit to get a better look at the heater unit w/o removing the dash
