Default Leaking Heater

I am glad I had a passenger that day. I wouldn't have notice the leak otherwise. Not more than half-a-glass of coolant dripping on his feet.

I was not able to locate the origin. Given the location and the nature of the liquid, I assume my heater core is leaking.

Would anyone confirm or correct ?

Does anyone know how much it takes to fix it (beside the cost of parts)?

Not much else that can drip green liquid on your feet. Here's a how-to posted by a fellow forum member just a couple days ago.

I just 'did' mine... same symptoms - heater core dripping. Everyone I spoke to said it was a PITA job... I assmued they were putting it on a bit. They weren't. My advice after a weekend on it and still needing to revisit it again is take your time and when you begin to get frustrated at it go and watch the speed for half an hour before coming back to it! Good luck.
