I replaced the water pump this past weekend ($200+) because I was adding fluid every other day...had it tested and it was "seeping". I've driven it for 3 days now and this morning it is dripping...from the firewall. More than likely it's the heater core, but I'm hoping it's just one of the hoses. There's only 70k miles on it! Anyway, I'm venting and want to know if anyone else has change their heater core? Is it hard to do?

listening... the heater core is never an easy task to get to, its behind-under the dash; but its just frustrating, once its done you wont worry for a long time, any one with basic skills and patience can do it...its probably one of the first tasks in any restoration.

Man that sucks. Heater core replacements are not a fun job. A repair manual will help you out some.

If you need a new pump, heater core, gasket or anything, let me know. I can get it for a cheap price from work

If your strippin' the dash to replace a heater core, you might concider replacing the evaporator coil at the same time. Perfect oportunity.
