I posted this on the hybrid forum but am hoping I could get some input here as well. I need some advise from people who may have experience this problem.
Thanks!

I had this happen to me, but I was replacing my heater core with a new one, so it didn't really matter to me that I damaged the inputs/outputs.

From that second pic in your other thread, it looks like it should be ok.

Maybe when you reinstall the hose, put some silicon around the outlet. With the clamp, and silicon that should make a good seal.

 

Thanks! BTW, can you replace the heater core without discharging the ac system?

 

I did that, but it wasn't near as bad. I just straightened it a bit and double clamped it. That stopped the leaking.

Yes. But you have to take your entire dash out, but I'm sure you already knew that.
