Hello all,
A few days ago I noticed a funny smell inside my car (7A-FE), and I discovered now that the passengers carpet is all wet. Also some steam is coming out from the dashboard when I turn off the engine. (You hear some sizzling sound then) To me it looks like a leak somewhere inside... I'm afraid it's going to be expensive to find the leak/fix it.  Does anyone has an idea what I could try? |

There was hardly any cooling fluid left, so I refilled it. But since it's warm nowadays here, I hardly put the heater on, just the cold air. It still leaks when its all the way to cold.
To replace this heater core, it means to remove the whole dash?
