Default Heater Core Leaking?

I was changing my trans mount to a urethane one today when I noticed green fluid dripping from the drain hole of the passenger side floor.

So what's the deal? Heater core leaking into the cab?

Certainly sounds like it. Turn on you heater and blower on full and feel the air for moisture.

It can't be anything else there but the heater core. You don't say what year it is. Changing the core is similar on all C3's. It will take a few hours.

If you chose to do it your self...I did...You need to remove the panel where the glove box is on the passengerside to get at the core box. Disconnect all connections to it. Cut the heater lines from under the car....pain to pull off. Remove the three bolts that hold the box (2 inside and one in the engine compartment. Lift and twist the box. Open the box, replace the core and reinstall.
