Probably leaking from the core. It drains out in front of the fire wall. Gets to full in the HVAC plenum and it will drain on the carpet.

SOURCE: hearter core

If you look down by the gas pedal you will see two tubes coming out of the heater box, that is where the heater core is. To replace the heater core you need to disconnect the heater hoses from the heater core in the engine compartment. Then remove the gas pedal from the floor, and disconnect the brake booster rod from the brake pedal. Next you will need to disconnect the shaft going to the bottom of the steering column. (Make sure not to turn the steering wheel while the column is disconnected or you may damage the clock spring). After all of that is disconnected you will have to remove a cover for the heater core tubes. Then remove the tubes from the heater core. There are a couple of screws that hold the core in. Remove those screws and the heater core will slide out of the heater box.
This is not as difficult as it sounds. Just make sure and not turn the steering wheel, and top off the coolant when you get done.
Good Luck.

dose'nt matter long as you make sure they are exactly the same but if you are going to go through the pain of changing it you should put a new one in unless you would like to do it again.

SOURCE: Heateer core leak

yes you can take the 2 hoses going to the heater core and join the 2 together under the hood so that coolant flows thru the hoses but not thru the heater core

SOURCE: Put new radiator in,and no

You might consider bleeding out the air you might have in your cooling system after you opened it,drain it to replace radiator.Let it cool down open rad cap start engine watch the burps of air come up when air locks are out coolant starts to swirl as it circulates might drop fluid level to have coolant on hand to top up after wards shut it of with rad cap off let it sit for as long as you possibly can any remaining air locks will burp out.Once coolant completely down put your rad cap back be sure fluid is full reservoir as well.Now see if you have heat.

Toyota Rava 4why is the anitfrezzer is empty in the container after I put antifrezzer inside of it

If there's no external obvious leaks and not overheating, you have an internal leak, either from a bad head gasket, cracked engine block or head. Check under dash to make the heater core is not leaking onto the carpet.

Heater core

if it looks like coolant, and your carpet on the passenger side is damp then yes your heater core is leaking, the best solution for repair is go to parts store near you, pick up a manual for your car, most parts stores carry them, as well as the parts you need for the repair

If a radiator leaks you buy a new one,common sense

The Stop Leak probably clogged your hearter core
Now you can remove that & try to clean it out or replace

1985 grand marqius, the heater hoses have been by passed, i've been told it could be that the "heater coil?" may have gone bad, where is the hearter coil located?

Many people bypass the heater core if it is leaking. It stops the leak but then you have no heat.
The core itself looks like a small radiator and is located inside the big box under the dashboard and isn't very easy to remove. You will need a chilton or haynes manual to guide you through the job or bring it to a shop and have them do it.

Its leeking water out of a hose and cant see what the hoese goes to

is it water or coolant? aside from the upper and lower radiator hoses the only other hose carrying coolant is the hearter hose that goes to the heater core.inside the firewall. if it is leaking at the heater core. or the core itself is leaking this is a major job. as the heater core must be removed and tested.

Runs hot and hearter not blowing hot air

a heater uses the temperature of the cars water, running threw a heat exchanger if the heater core has failed water will not circulate threw the engine properly this will and can cause over heating as well as nothing blowing from the heater. good luck.heater cores are generally inexpensive parts to replace.

last thing you can check if heater core is ok. is the thermostat.
