Leaking freeze plug. block sealer should fix problem if veh is running fine, and only losing small amounts of water if it's pouring out as soon as you put water in then will need to replace the freeze plug, may have to remove exhaust manifold to do so, depending on which freeze plug is leaking, (if easily accessible most parts stores have rubber expansion freeze plugs, that you can put in and tighten down with a wrench or socket)

SOURCE: Heater core and heater hoses

beig there, done that.
most likely is not the heater itself. most of the leak is from the water **** (heater control valve) located at the passager side of the heater. if you need instruction e-mail me at [email protected], I have all the instruction and diagrams for the thing.

My yukon is running hot but there are no holes in the radiator and there is a leak on the passenger side?

Hi, maybe you have a faulty water pump or gasket, it's better that a mechanic check it as soon it's possible.

My 1999 dodge caravan is still overheating. I have already replaced the thermostat and the water pump, also there is no heat. please help me someone!

Hi there.
Well you can either have a problem with either radiator outer {dust/dirt in outer core of radiator or clogged up inside were water goes, or soft hoses,blowen head gasket plus a few others ,but first go to garage to were you blow up your tyres and use the air hose and blow out the radiator core where the air goes in, 2 drain out radiator water and then refill with water at 1 ltr at a time and then check your info car book and find how much water the radiator takes ,if it dosent take all the ltrs then the radiator is blocked inside.
if engine runs rough missing etc then get your Head gasket checked out.
When you say no heat is that with heat on gauge or no heat from heater, as it could be heater blockage same as radiator core. So let me know how you get on.

Leaking antifreeze between firewall and motor on passenger side. just started when i tried to use the heater. could it be the heater core and where is it located

Could be the heater core, or where your heater hoses connect at the firewall. Heater core leak would more than likely put steam in the vents of you car when heater is on and hot and fan on. If the leak is just in the engine compartment, it`s a hose or a loose connection.

Overheating radiator on my 1997 EL Falcon. It seems to be leaking in the back of the engine on the passenger side which is causing the radiator to overheat and have hardly any water in it. I have replaced...

Your wasting your time and money doing that lot as your problem is either the heater hose on L/H/Side of engine split or leaking tap for heater or head gasket or the REAR CORE PLUG in rear of engine block rusty and needs replacing (dead centre of rear of block) but you will need to either use a mirror to see it or remove the engine and replace ALL welsh plugs.
Let me know how you get on.

Just had timing belt put in,soon as i drove away from repair shop antifreeze begin to leak out what is the problem now?

there are many can cause the anti-freeze to leak.
you need to check to see if the leak come from the hose, water pump, gasket or radiator.
if it leak in the front then the radiator or hoses
if it leak on the passenger's side the it can be water pump or heater hose.
make sure you have coolant before you drive, because it can over heat and ruin the engine

Just had radiator replaced, leak has developed around housing/gasket of hose running to passenger side just to side of engine and slightly behind. My mechanic doesn't know what the part is we are looking...

is it actually on the engine? I ask because you say it is to the passenger side and just behind the engine, that makes me think it is a heater hose, the heater hoses go from the water pump to the heater core which is located on the passenger side, the difference between heater hoses and radiator hoses is the size and of course location, heater hoses are generally about 1/2 inch to 1 inch, with radiator hoses being between 1 3/4 and 3 inches

Heater takes to long to get hot and water is dripping form dashboaerd on passenger side i have a 2000 grand jeep cherokee

Sounds like one of two things are happening. Either the hose going to the heater core (on the engine side of the dash) is leaking causing coolant to spray into the passenger compartment or your heater core is leaking which is causing the dripping from the passenger side of the dash. This would also cause a loss of coolant in the engine which would cause the engine to overheat and not enough coolant to get to the heater core to supply heat to the passenger compartment. Check your coolant level (while engine is cold) and refill it with a 50/50 mix of coolant and water after you tighten the leaking hose or replace the heater core.Then start the engine and let it warm up to operating temperature. Again let it cool down and then top off the radiator with the 50/50 mix of coolant. Do not under any circumstances open the radiator cap while the engine is hot.

Leaking Water Hose (not radiator hose)

it is the heater water supply and return, that supply water to the heater core to supply heat using hot water from the engine, the hose clamp my be loose or the hose has a hole in it you have to trace it from unner the hood fire wall to where it connects to the heater under the dash

Water coming from somewhere on passenger side floor

Your definitley on the right track,it maybe the actual heater as most heater hoses end at the firewall so the leak must be on the inside of the firewall. If you cant spot the leak from the engine bay side you may have to remove the dash, hope this helps.

Water leak on the passenger rug for 2003 Corolla

well if you have water or coolant leaking on to the rug in your car, first you must remember that every car has 2 radiators. One for the Engine which is in the front of your car under the hood and one for your heater, which is usually hidden deep behind the dash inside of your car. So if you are leaking fluids on to the rug in the car; Im 90% sure its going to be something dealing with the heater radiator. What you have to do is find out where your heater radiator is on your car and check all the hoses.
