Default Heatercore going out

Well today has been a great day lol. I kept smelling antifreez for the last month or so but i cound not find where it was leaking. But when ever i turned my heat on i smelled it more that with it off. so i thought its the heater core. well come to find out today it decided to leak more, now its comming out of the weep hole. what to do????? since its summer you really dont need heat but i dunno weather to fix it or not. If i block it off what is the best way? the part that sucks th most is the thing is only 4months old.

I would fix it now. If wait til after the summer you will not want to do it then (weather gets colder). Qiuck fixes are temp.. and you will continue to put it off. Get it out of the way and fix it now

Summer is comming you dont need no stinking heater core. Just bypass it and save you the trouble.

I agree with kevstang87... fix it now while its nice out. Also, if you need a heatercore I have one that I got from autozone that I will give to you for cheap

na its all good, ill fix it in a month or so. i by pass it so i can let off some steam. ill do it when i get heads becaue the top of the motor needs to come off. that way i dont have to take the egr and **** off to get to them.
