    Default coolant leaking inside car

    hey there,

    Went for about an hours long drive today and went to jump back in my car an found some coolant on
    the drivers side floor. Is it the heater hose??
    are they easy to change?

    sounds like the heater core is leaking.
    search in the How-To section, theres a guide in there to do it.

    Here is a good link with the background to replacing the core.....it can be expensive or you can take the shortcut and save many $$$$.
