#280644 yup heater core or heater hoses, check both ends of the heater core hoses make sure fluid isnt just trickling down them into the cabin.

It's gotta be the heater core.

x2 mine leaks as well so i looped the hoses 2 where it never goes through the heatercore but i'm changing my heatercore this weekend.

#280659 hey i dont know if you can tell but its your heater core.. lol

but a temp fix would be to loop the two hoses with a fitting..
i believe you have to pull the dash to replace it

U don't need a fitting 2 loop it just re-route the hose that goes 2 the inlet valve 2 the thermostat housing. I will post a pic of it later.
