Hey, recently ive noticed a LARGE amount of liquid ( i believe to be engine coolant) all over my drivers side carpet.. i REALLY need to know what could be causing this...its making a MESS of my interior! Help please! Thanx

 

Um, there shouldn't be any coolant running into the cabin, unless the lines to your heater core are somehow leaking into the cabin.

 

That was my guess as well...it has just recently been doing this..and i am like SURE that it is coolant...its sorta slimey and has a oily feel to it..its really nasty. What do i need to do to correct this???

 

Sounds like somebody has a busted heater core

 

another thing id like to add... If it is the heater core, it must be leaking ALOT of coolant because ive had to top off my radiator twice this week after the car had been running hot... How hard is it to replace the core, how much does it cost, AND most importantly... is there a way for me to PREVENT this problem until then??? Thanx

 

Yeah, heater cores leak like crazy when they're kaput.
The core is under the dash, so it's likely to be a healty PITA.
no idea, call around to local auto parts stores, there's no special name brands you need to worry about. Yeah, don't use any heat. If worse comes to worse, put in a piece of generic heater hose connecting the heater core in and out hoses so that no fluid is directed into the cabin.

 

Sounds look good advice to me...i thought about just connecting the 2 hoses earlier today.. Do i have to remove the entire dash to get this thing out?? It doesnt look fun from the manual.. Its getting COLD here in georgia and im gonna need some heat SOON!! Thanx for the help

 

Looks like you're gonna have to pull the dash...

 

Hey guys just to follow up.. its DEFINATELY antifreeze that is leaking all over my floor. While there are no coolant leaks under the hood, i looked under the dash and noticed that there was coolant leaking where the hoses connect with the core inside the vehicle. Any ideas on how to diagnose? im REALLY hoping its not the core... thanx
