So i replaced my old carpet last weekend and found it to be drenched with coolant. I figured this was just leftover from the cracked intake manifold issue i had, which has now been replaced. So I cleaned up all the coolant that was laying on my floor boards and threw away the old carpet. I have my new carpet halfway in (had to stop due to a broken passenger seat bolt) and the coolant is still pooling under my carpet. The trail of coolant comes from the center of the firewall, and I am stuck as to what the hell is still leaking. I hope it is just a hose, anyone have any input on this crap? I am sick of the smell of coolant, and I refuse to add any more only for it to ruin my new carpet and get everywhere else. Thanks

Heater core.

Have fun fixing that. Got a good back? Won't be when you're done.

happens all the time on 2nd gen Escorts as well.

Heatercore = pita to get to. I just hope getting to yours means you don't have to rip apart the entire dashboard.

good luck

Oh yeah, something to help...

If you don't live anywhere that temperatures freeze over night still, you can just run straight water and some anti-rust prevention stuff you can buy at any parts store.

You definitely have to rip the dash out to replace the heater core. GOOD LUCK WITH THAT! my thoughts and prayers are with you.
