Help with a leak, please!

I have a leak in the cabin on the passenger side right about where your feet go. Looks to be coolant, you might ask how I know what it is.. That's what I'm blowing though fluid wise. Sooooo, anybody out there,, send me your feed back as to how I can make repairs.

I just got this wonderful car and now this challenge.. 1994 LT1

That is your dreaded heater core. If your not ready to tackle the job you can bypass it by connecting the heater hoses by the firewall to each other.

So I think your saying by connecting the heater hoses this is the fast fix? Or is this going to be a job I need to farm out? I told my wife what you said and I thought I'm in good shape if it's a easy fix, heater core,, baa who needs heat? I live in Arizona

By the way guy's I just love my Corvette I'm a first time owner and really LOVE this car, so now I know the feeling. My Rosie turns like she's on rails, what a car!!

I had the same issue. NAPA makes a u bend hose that has the 2 different ends, that you need. That and some clamps. Eventually I will have to do my core, as I'm in the northeast. If you need part number I have it someplace.
