Alright so here is what happened. I was driving home from work this afternoon with my air conditioning on. I took hard right turn and suddenly i could smell radiator coolant coming threw the a.c. vents, and it was strong as h.e.l.l. WTF!!! So i pulled over to check for a leak and all i could see was the water coming out of the drain plug in the fire wall. Thats normal when it is humid outside. Any ideas on what could have happened?

Well, was it water or coolant. Did you find the source of the a/f smell? Look under the dash for coolant. Sounds like the heater core might have gone out on ya.

I checked under the dash about 2 hours after i shut the car off and it felt dry. I will go check in a few min it's been about an hour since then.

I just re-checked under the dash and it's all dry. Should i rule out the heater core? Any other suggestions?

does it make a gurgling spund when you turn the AC knop to off after you turn off your car?

If its your water pump, coolant will spill out from under the intake manifold aluminum crossover. So it rules that out too.

this really sucks cuz i was planning on selling it this weekend to get an 01 gt. [:'(] $4000 if anyone is looking to buy!!

Last night i noticed my driver side floor was wet!!! Would this be the heater core? I thought it would leak only on the passenger side but it is dry. Any ideas?
Also my radiator coolant is will go extremely low about once a week but i have yet to see a drop of coolant touch the ground. WTF!

the heater core is gonna spew in different spots because it is inside a plastic vent case... put your fingers in the moisture ,if it feels like oily then it's coolant

Anyone ever replaced a heater core??? How much is that going to cost?
