HELP 88 corvette

Yesterday I took out my C-4 for a ride for the first time this year. I smelled anti freeze for the entire ride. Today i went out to the car and noticed that floor on the passenger side was wet and smelled of anit freeze. Then i ran the car and noticed a sort of steam coming out of the heater on the passanger site. Does anyone know what it could be and is it expensive to get fixed?

HEATER CORE,for now you can bypass the core by hooking both nipples of the water pump together with a single hose,It will be alright till you need heat,or fast defrosting.

The heater core is leaking. Do a search on the forum for "heater core" and "fastguy" as keywords. If you are a wrench, start doing some yoga stretches for the work. If you are not, it's gonna cost some $$$. Print fastguys method and take it to the mechanic. The part is no more than $75.
