Smelled coolant,confirmed this morning that heater core is leaking. Caught it very early on so carpet is good, goes without saying not a happy camper right now.

Thankfully you've a warranty, right?
Knowing GM designers core's buried requiring much being removed first to affect a repair. Like a clutch. Beaucoup hours.

As much as a PITA it is having this kind of thing happen?
Good news is: won't cost you a cent to make right.

Car is back home and all is well. Amazed at the amount of parts crammed into the cabin of the c7.

Well, at least we haven't read a bunch of threads about heater cores. They manufacture a lot, and there's going to be a bad one once in a while. Glad to hear there was no damage, and you're back on the road.
