    you see

    i thought i had a radiator leak because the car would overheat and the coolant was low

    but


    nothing was leaking out of the car

    the coolant was magically disappearing


    turns out the leak is in the heater core

    which means the coolant is leaking INSIDE THE CAR AWESOME

    to replace the heater core i will have to remove the entire dash and console

    IT NEEDS A BYPASS



    AND ALSO I COULD USE A SHOP VAC

    loosen the two heater lines under the hood that go to the inside core, place a small connector (piece of pipe) to the hoses and tighten. This will bypass the heater system with no effect on engine performance.

    I've actually heard that it is, and they have to put some additive into it to make it taste bad.
    I bet snopes could confirm/deny.

    q: when i am parked my car will spill out water mainly from the passenger side, there is a elbow hose coming out of the back wall under the hood, thats where its coming out of. it also seem to be leaking from the drivers side to very little?it seem not to spill as much when i am on the highway. i have to fill it up about twice a day. The other night my window started to get fogging and starting overheating. Now it spills water even more. what is it? the heater core? can you tell me how to bypass it please? I have a 2000 chevy cavalier 2.2. thank you.

    a: Andy;
    HI- well its your heater core - and it is a job. as far as by-passing it, take the two hoses that go to it and get a short pc. of pipe or a tube and put the two hoses together and clamp it up good. it will hold for a long time till the heater core is replaced. You can try to get a can of Barrs stop leak and see if that will stop the leak . if not than bypass it.

    yeah i got that

    the problem is finding these heater hoses

    there is some serious non-euclidian geometry going on inside this stupid engine

    see the problem is they don't come from the radiator

    the hoses lead from the heater core to somewhere else

    and since i ain't able to see the heater core without dismantling the dash and console, i got to figure out where somewhere else is

    You're going to have to open it up anyway, so just open it so you can be sure. Also, bring a bucket. Speaking from experience, that shit gushes.

    noooo, i won't

    the entire point of doing the bypass instead of replacing the core is so i don't have to take out the dash

    if i was gonna crack all that shit open, i'd just replace the core and have a working heater


    and hahaha did you just say you've worked on coolant systems without purging them first
