Its a 5 speed.
And it is definatlly green, and when you close the door and the exhaust manifold is hot, it will spill on there and you will get steam, and a smell of coolant.

sounds like when you pulled your heater core hoses off you broke the tube on one of them at the core and its filling up your box and coming out that holr check your carpet up high on the firewall on the passenger side and see if its damp bet cha thats your prob

Yea thats no problem, im pretty sure we're talkin about the same thing, but like i said its dry. I doubt that it would dry in less than 4 hours. And i felt all around the plastic and that seemed dry too.
