Re: no heat and antifreeze leak
its got to be the heater core or the hoses leading to it.

Re: no heat and antifreeze leak
does a foul smell come out of the vents? also check under your passenger side floor mat for antifreeze, thats where it would drip from your heater core to.

Re: no heat and antifreeze leak
that is why i am in doubt for the heater core.. there are no sweet odors from the vents and the passenger side floor is dry.

Re: no heat and antifreeze leak
If your only getting warm air, I would bet the farm that heater core is plugged, or partially plugged. I did mine, its not that big of a deal. Go on get your hands dirty, you know you want to
 You can run a garden hose to it, and see if there is any crap in it. The leak is coming from the firewall, or the engine block?

Re: no heat and antifreeze leak
Check on line, I would figure about $30.

Well having no heat can just mean that your low on coolant, hence the leak. That alone wont direct you to a bad part. Where is the coolant coming from, the motor, hoses, firewall, etc?

Re: no heat and antifreeze leak
it looks like the coolant is dripping down to the drivers side rear of the engine bay. i personally have never seen a coolant leak there, hence why i ask what it could be.

First thing you really need to do is find where the leak is coming from. Have the sytem pressure tested to pinpoint the exact leak.
