thanks!

Its not difficult to remove and replace.... but before you take the whole thing out and get it re-cored - if you have a stock setup, there is a control valve inside the heater box.... the valve or the connection between the valve and heater core may be leaking on yours. the valve is easy to find on the internet

you should take the front part of the heater box off , . youll have to go through the glove box to get the top screws out. start the engine, turn on the heat. and see where its leaking. the valve is a lot less $ than re-coring the heater core.
