Default Interior Windows fogged with Coolant?

My father just called me complaining that the interior windows are fogged with antifreeze. The car is a 95 6-Spd with ~60k on it. He bought the car from my wife, so any problem with it is my problem too. Any ideas?

TIA,
John

Sounds like a leaking heater core.

:iagree:

Definatly the heater core. It is not going to be easy or fun if you do it yourself. Many have gone through this matter. That really sucks.

It does sound like a leaking heater core.

I don't know if I would put this stuff in a vette, but in an old daily driver I once had, I used a bottle of Bahr's Stop Leak and it fixed the problem. That car (an '88 Daytona w/200K miles) was not worth the cost/aggrivation of replacing a heater core, so it was either the Bahr's or the salvage yard, but to my surprise the stuff sealed up the leak permanently and I drove it another 62K miles.
