Maybe my heater core?
So, for a few days I smelled coolant in the cockpit, but not the engine bay of my '88 coupe - 56k miles. My windshield fogged over, and a fellow Corvette friend told me my heater core. Problem is, I've been reading, and I haven't seen or felt a single drop of coolant in the passenger bay. The past few days I haven't really smelled the coolant, and the window isn't really fogging. Could it still be the heater core?

That heater core won't heal itself. You can bet it's leaking or will leak. Feel the carpet on the right side. Press a paper towel into it. The antifreeze will show up. It is a tough job to replace the heater core. I spent most of Sunday just getting to mine. Mostly requires patience and small hands. Neither of which I have. I let mine go and I now have to replace the carpet too. Good luck!
